Package: dspam Version: 3.6.8-5 Severity: normal The dspam package lists clamav-* as dependencies, but clamav-base comes configured to have clamd listen on unix sockets. Dspam can only interface with clamd if clamd is listening on a TCP port. dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base recommends against configuring clamd to listen on a TCP port due to security concerns.
On top of that, dspam doesn't even need clamav to function normally/properly. They are two separate programs with two separate functions: dspam filters spam, clamav scans for viruses. It doesn't make sense to force a user to install clamav in order to be able to install dspam, only for said user to find that they cannot even utilise clamav in conjunction with dspam without acting against dpkg-reconfigure's recommendations. dspam should list clamav-* as a Recommendation, instead of a Dependency. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-023stab041.3-enterprise Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages dspam depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdspam7 3.6.8-5 DSPAM is a scalable and statistica ii libldap2 2.1.30-13.3 OpenLDAP libraries ii procmail 3.22-16 Versatile e-mail processor ii sensible-mda 8.13.8-3 Mail Delivery Agent wrapper Versions of packages dspam recommends: ii clamav-daemon 0.90.1-2 antivirus scanner daemon ii dspam-doc 3.6.8-5 Documentation for dspam -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
