View Full Version : Upgrading Perl on Raq 4

[root local]# rpm --rebuild spamassassin-2.31-8.src.rpm
Installing spamassassin-2.31-8.src.rpm
error: failed build dependencies:
perl-Net-DNS is needed by spamassassin-2.31-8
perl >= 2:5.8.0 is needed by spamassassin-2.31-8

Apparently I need to update Perl to get the latest version of SpamAssassin installed. How would I do that or is it a bad idea?

Also, how can I tell what RPM's are install on my Raq?

Thnks

Matt

I think you may have misread the output. Spamassassin has a few Perl module dependencies - but you shouldn't need to upgradce Perl to install it
You need to install Net:: DNS module by the looks of things.
