That was yesterday

Thank You Julian,

yeah it worked , but now when i'm running
/usr/local/Sophos/bin/autoupdate , i got this error again

looked over your instal script, and can't get why it works for first
time, but when i'am running it i got errors? :)

The problem was here
original autoupdate : $VDLDir = "../lib";
my autoupdate       : $VDLDir = "/usr/local/Sophos/lib";

I don't know maybe i've chaged it or maybe not, well it doesn't matter
now, i'm glad that it is working perfect as it worked till upgrade. {i
have never upgraded mailscanner and sophos before}

Sorry :)
