Error - MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint

[Julian Field]

<x-flowed>
So the up2date -u works okay. I can't see where it is convinced that you
have spamassassin rpm installed, when you don't. I haven't been able to get
my RHEL3 system as confused as this, it seems to think with "up2date -l"
that perl-MIME-Base64 is obsoleted by perl-5.8.0 but that doesn't mean it
actually minds too much.

If you "rpm -ql perl-MIME-Base64" and "rpm -ql perl" you will see that they
don't actually share any files in common at all, so I don't see why up2date
moans. Both "rpm --verify perl-MIME-Base64" and "rpm --verify perl"
succeed, so the packages haven't been upset at all.

Other than up2date moaning about the package being obsoleted, I can find no
trace that anything is really wrong at all! It all works just fine.
