Topic: Security update perl-Archive-Tar breaks Spamassasin

The security update perl-Archive-Tar-1.39.1-1.el5_5.1.noarch.rpm will breaks /usr/bin/sa-update from spamassassin-3.2.5-1.el5.x86_64.rpm. For those who is using iRedOS or Centos, pls take note.

There is a solution for this but I am not sure how to do it...does anyone mind to teach me?

Here's the patch (which I've also attached):

Re: Security update perl-Archive-Tar breaks Spamassasin

Hi,

Just edit the /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Archive/Tar.pm in like the following (just add the 2nd line):

$VERSION                ="1.39_01";
$VERSION                = eval $VERSION;
