Hi, I am building a test server on a local VMware box (ESXi 4.0). My previous build a year ago for ISPConfig 3.0 went fine, but I am currently stuck here. Under VMWare ESXi 4.0u1 I have installed Centos 5.4 I followed the How To, and all worked fine until installing spamassassin. This fails with I have installed per-Razor-Agent, razor-agents from dag wieers both by a download and rpm and by yum install, but the error will not go away. I have googled but not found any help other than install the above packages from dag wieers. Any help appreciated as I am now stuck cheers Rajiv

Using CentOS 5.4 as well.
I'm getting the exact same problem. I know that for me, I originally downloaded SA from their homepage and built it from source. How about the rest of you? I don't know if that's the problem for me but I'm going to take a snapshot of the server after hours and try to uninstall it then install it from yum.
no I'm just doing a bogstandard yum of the rpm built by dag wieers or wherever rather than source. What's even more annoying about this is that AFAIK the razor package is optional, ie you can choose not to use it. I didn't even build the server again to test this, I want to dumnp email off to rackspace and just do other things like wordpress mu, sigh.... Cheers Rajiv
I did this centos install about 2 weeks ago and it worked at that time. But it might be that some dependencys in centos or rpmforge repos are broken at the moment. As a general note, I recommend to consider to use debian instead of centos. it is much easier to setup and will result in a more stable setup. You will get have less problems when installing and upgrading compared to centos as debian has all nescessary packages in its main repository and you dont have to compile software like courier.
Except that doesn't really work for my hosting provider as I'm trying to build a test environment close to my hosting provider..anyway that's my problem. Does anyone know of a way to get yum to ignore the dependency and tray and install anyway. I don't care if it crashes and burns as I can always build a new VM Cheers Rajiv
This update was released on Friday at around noon last week so they probably don't have everything setup just yet. I think your right. I agree with Debian now...I've had quite a few dependency issues and software being outdated that I would like to switch to Debian but I just setup this server and I have it all customized to my liking for the most part. It's too bad!
IMO - Your best bet, if you need to upgrade at this second, then go to: http://spamassassin.apache.org/downloads.cgi?update=200806121419 download SA 3.3.1 and build the rpm from source. I think that will work but I can't promise you anything at this point because I haven't done it. I'll probably wait a few days to see if rpmforge gets things worked out and if not then I'll try it myself. Post back with your findings.
not afraid of compiling, but I don't really have time, need to do the wordpress install and will wait a few days for rpmforge to see if it catches up
Using CentOS version 5.4 I solved spamassassin problem by first installing old version ie install Code: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/spamassassin/spamassassin-3.2.4-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm then update it with latest version Code: http://wtogami.fedorapeople.org/temp/spamassassin/el5/spamassassin-3.3.1-2.el5.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh spamassassin-3.3.1-2.el5.i386.rpm ####### if there is any perl Dependency is required , manually install from yum install perl-IO-Socket etc.######### Thanks
