Yes - exactly what I am seeing on a bog-standard RHEL 3.0 box but with
up2date.

My workaround (which I'm not entirely happy with but it works) was to
remove the MIME-Base64 rpm and install it from CPAN. This avoids
messing up the rpm database and gives MailScanner what it needs.

Presumably only until the next MailScanner upgrade, though, at which
point I'll have to rpmbuild only the changed modules rather than
running install.sh.

Mike.
