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.
