I haven't been able to reproduce this. Neither spamassassin nor sa-compile directly depend on JSON::PP. That error is coming from CPAN::Meta.pm. It's also not clear that it's the actual cause of the sa-compile failure. Is there anything in the log file that sa-compile generated? (/tmp/.spamassassin3996658TferDhtmp/log from your run, but it's a randomly generated location) I suspect that there's something wrong with your perl installation, possibly caused by files in /usr/local/share/perl and/or /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl overriding files provided by packages. noah
