Bug Description

Binary package hint: spamassassin

Since the newest update to 3.2.2 in Gutsy the Pyzor check in SpamAssassin doesn't correctly run anymore. This is a portion of my mail.info which shows the problem:

Sep 28 10:50:15 localhost spamd[17388]: spamd: got connection over /var/run/spamd.sock
Sep 28 10:50:15 localhost spamd[17388]: spamd: setuid to Debian-exim succeeded

It looks like that failure does not influence any other tests, so luckily most Spam is still identified correctly but some (especially short ones) aren't correctly identified due to this bug.

Googling for the problem revealed http://www.nuonce.net/support/viewthread.php?fid=35&tid=1565&action=printable which then pointed to the corresponding bug report in the Apache Bugzilla:

yeah, 3.2.3 is strongly recommended -- 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 both have pretty serious bugs.
