Problem with CENTOS RPM install of 4.76.6-3

[Remco Barendse]

Hi MArk!

Is this in reply to the message i sent to Julian's mail address directly?

In the latest MailScanner install package version 1.21 is included, this 
version doesn't build on an updated installation of CentOS 4. The bug 
bites because it seems newer installl files remove all required perl 
packages before re-installing them. The removal works, the rebuild doesn't 
:)

Attempting to build and install perl-DBD-SQLite-1.21-1

Missing file 
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/perl-DBD-SQLite-1.21-1.noarch.rpm.
Maybe it did not build correctly?

=> Yes!! The installer is right! It didn't build correctly

It's a known bug in 1.21, installing 1.25 from rpmforge solved my problem.
