ok well its difficult in some ways as there is so much info, here is some of
the build info when building the rpm from src for File:spec adding in
UNINST=1 to the make install as it correctly notices that there is an
existing install to upgrade

+ make install UNINST=1

Processing files: perl-File-Spec-0.82-1

but if you then install the rpm it install itself to
/usr/lib/5.00.503/File/Spec

compared with installing from source in the same manner where you get

putting itself in the correct place - now its the last line thats the most
interesting here for the other 2 rpms as its this bit that seems to go wrong
in the rpm build it tries to append to a file that doesn't exist hence later
when SpamAssassin looks for stuff it doesn't find it.

Hope this rather rambling mail makes sense the problem is that I have to
rebuild a RaQ every time I try something to make sure I am doing it on a
clean box.
