errors after upgrade

[Dave Filchak]

I have recently taken over management of a server that I used to manage 
some time ago. The MailScanner install had not been upgraded in some 
time so I decided to upgrade to the latest version. First mistake I made 
was not checking the version BEFORE I ran the upgrade but the person who 
had been managing it said it had not been upgraded in a year or so.

So, I installed the latest version and during the install, I get the 
following:

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/weak.t line 33.
dubious
         Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

RPM build errors:
     Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.74452 (%build)

When I run MailScanner -V I get:

  MailScanner -V
dualvar is only available with the XS version of Scalar::Util at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm line 8
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm line 8.

Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 110.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 110.

AND:

  service MailScanner status
Checking MailScanner daemons:
          MailScanner:                                      [FAILED]
          incoming sendmail: head: cannot open `/var/run/sendmail.in.pid' for reading: No such file or directory
                                                            [  OK  ]
          outgoing sendmail:                                [  OK  ]

It is receiving and sending mail but I am not seeing anything about MailScanner in the logs so I assume it is not running.

I appreciate all suggestions as to how to troubleshoot/repair this.
