I don't know quite what is going on here, I saw a few similar problems
myself sometimes, but I couldn't come up with a definite reason for it. It
knows you have QuotedPrint 3.03 but then says you need it installed. All I
ended up doing was forcing the install of the main MailScanner rpm.

What happens if you rpm -e MIME::Base64 and then reinstall it?

Anyone else got any ideas on this?
