MailScanner-4.34.8-1 Installation Problems

[Quentin Campbell]

Julian

I have just upgraded two RedHat AS/ES 3 systems to 4-34.8-1 but the
attempt to ugrade a third AS 3 system failed in install.sh with:

   error: Failed dependencies:
          perl (Compress::Zlib) is needed by perl-Archive-Zip-1.13-1.

Using CPAN and "installing Compress::Zlib" I am told that it is up to
date!

However looking a bit more closely I find that on the two systems on
which 4.34.8-1 was successfully installed there is present the files 

  /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/perl-Compress-Zlib-1.33-1.i396.rpm
  /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/perl-Compress-Zlib-debuginfo-1.33-1.i396.rpm


These are not present in the system on which install.sh is failing. I
assume it should thus install the perl-Compress-Zlib-1.33-2.i396.rpm you
provide on the download for RedHat systems.

However this begs the question as to why the later version you provide
(1.33-2) is not installed in place of the existing version (1.33-1) on
my two successful builds.
