Package: sa-compile
Version: 3.4.2-0+deb8u2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After the latest security update to spamassassin, sa-compile was left
incompletely installed due to the following failure (which now happens every
time I install/remove anything using apt-get):
Setting up sa-compile (3.4.2-0+deb8u2) ...
Running sa-compile (may take a long time)
rules: failed to run GREYLIST_ISWHITE test, skipping:
(Insecure dependency in eval while running with -T switch at
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Greylisting.pm line 70.
)
sa-compile: not compiling; 'spamassassin --lint' check failed!
dpkg: error processing package sa-compile (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
sa-compile
I looked at the code at line 70 of
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Greylisting.pm
however I am not a perl guru and have never dealt with "taint" mode so
I am not sure of the best way to deal with the problem
NOTE: I tried to look at the sa-compile changelog to see what changed,
however, there are no files related to spamassassin version 3.4.2-0+deb8u2
on the server at:
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/s/spamassassin/
which is where the file should be.
I considered that this bug may belong to the sa-exim package which is the
source of the Graylisting.pm file, however, it is the sa-compile package that
changed not sa-exim and sa-compile is the one with the broken installation.
Best regards,
Shannon Dealy
