Bug 44214

Summary:	p5-Mail-SpamAssassin missing a dependency
Product:	Ports & Packages	Reporter:	Andrew Stevenson <andrew>

Status:	Closed FIXED
Severity:	Affects Only Me

Description Andrew Stevenson 2002-10-18 17:40:04 UTC

p5-Mail-SpamAssasin uses File::Spec but requires a version > 0.80. A copy of
File::Spec is included with the base system but this is too old and the
version in devel/p5-File-Spec needs installing.

Fix: 

Can list devel/p5-File-Spec as a run dependency but it would probably be
desirable to check to see if a new enough copy was already installed - from
the port or the base system (in case the base system version is ever updated).
How-To-Repeat: 
install spamassassin and try to run it.

Doesn't anybody ever check for PRs or read the ports mailing list? This 
is a well known problem where the File::Spec in the base system has to be 
deleted, then the File::Spec port added, except for perl 5.8.0 where 
File::Spec is *newer* than the port and so the port should *not* be added. 
Oh, god I wish people would READ for a change!
