[spam] Re: Installation error now that spamassasin 4.0.0 is available

[Pramod Daya]

Hi,

Has there been any update on getting Spamassassin 4.00000 to install with Mailscanner 5.4.5 ?   I've tried on Almalinux 8, and Almalinux 9, and Rocky 9.3 on Linode and on Hyper-V, and it just hangs when it gets to the point of "Building and testing Mail-Spamassassin-4.000000", and then times out. 

I also tried doing an installation of spamassassin from CPAN but that doesn't work either.   I'm at my wits end.   Some guidance on how to install Mailscanner would be very gratefully accepted. 

Thank you!

I'm on ubuntu but also install SpamAssassin and preferably as many other packages as possible from apt, I hope to avoid as much as possible that a security update gets released without it getting installed because I didn't notice it. I found a lot of perl modules in apt already but couldn't get all to install
