Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.4.0-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

Last night the world using spamassassin started to get this message
from any cron task that uses it.

  $ spamassassin --lint
  Nov 29 11:35:18.017 [22619] warn: Argument "perl_version" isn't numeric in 
numeric ge (>=) at (eval 568) line 1.
  Nov 29 11:35:18.125 [22619] warn: Argument "perl_version" isn't numeric in 
numeric ge (>=) at (eval 1061) line 1.

This is an upstream problem released in the dynamic rule updates
installed by cron.  It isn't a packaging problem.  I am filing a
Debian BTS since this is where I would look first for this
information.

The problem is being discussed here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.general/146193

The upstream bug report that accidentally precipitated the change is:

  https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7107

The offending rule may be commented out.  It will come back with the
next update unless it is addressed upstream.  As noted in:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.spamassassin.general/146197

File /var/lib/spamassassin/*/updates_spamassassin_org/72_active.cf

  if perl_version >= 5.010000
    meta    PDS_FROM_2_EMAILS       __PDS_FROM_2_EMAILS && !__VIA_ML && 
!__VIA_RESIGNER
  endif

And

  if perl_version >= 5.010000
    header  __PDS_FROM_2_EMAILS     From =~ 
/^\W+([\w+.-]+\@[\w.-]+\.\w\w++)(?:[^\n\w<]{0,80})?<(?!\1)[^\n\s]*\@/i
  endif

Due to the high visibility I am sure the problem will get fixed upstream soon.

Bob
