missing dependence on libsys-hostname-long-perl

[Pierre Lombard]

Binary package hint: spamassassin

Without libsys-hostname-long-perl the following message appears in the logs:

spamd[6962]: Can't locate Sys/Hostname/Long.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib /usr/share/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SPF/Query.pm line 88, <GEN8> line 136.

Installing the package above fixes the issue for (spamassassin 3.1.0a-2ubuntu1)

[Chip Salzenberg (chip-pobox)]

I'd love to update this package, but keyring-maint hasn't updated my gpg key.
So I can't. Maybe if you ask him... ?

Hi,

I'm still seeing messages in /var/log/syslog about missing
Sys::Hostname::Long.

Nov 9 08:38:56 noddy spamd[11808]: Can't locate Sys/Hostname/Long.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib /usr/share/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SPF/Query.pm line 336, <GEN169> line 110.

Nov 9 08:06:03 noddy spamd[15068]: Can't locate Sys/Hostname/Long.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib /usr/share/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SPF/Query.pm line 88, <GEN104> line 73.

Those are the two lines I've seen it on (336 and 88); the <GENxxx> line
number changes every time.

It appears that the change in 1.997-3 was to deal with this module being
absent rather than to depend on it. Is there any reason not to depend on
it?

thanks,
Hamish

Binary package hint: spamassassin

Without libsys-hostname-long-perl the following message appears in the logs:

spamd[6962]: Can't locate Sys/Hostname/Long.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../lib /usr/share/perl5 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SPF/Query.pm line 88, <GEN8> line 136.

Installing the package above fixes the issue for (spamassassin 3.1.0a-2ubuntu1)

[Barry deFreese (bddebian)]

Makes sense to me that this should at least be a Recommends or Suggests.

[Ante Karamatić (ivoks)]

Ummm... Isn't this bug of libmail-spf-query-perl? libmail-spf-query-perl should depend on libsys-hostname-long-perl if it doesn't work without it, shouldn't it?

[Daniel Lombraña González (teleyinex)]

Same here. After you install the long-perl deb all works perfectly.

You can see this: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-users/200508.mbox/%<email address hidden>%3E

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

ibmail-spf-query-perl 1:1.999.1-2 package (on Edgy) depends on libsys-hostname-long-perl.

I assume that this bug can be closed?

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Making this a dapper task.

Edgy's libmail-spf-query-perl 1:1.999.1-2 Depends on libsys-hostname-long-perl,
Dapper's libmail-spf-query-perl 1.997-3 only Suggests libsys-hostname-long-perl.

[John Dong (jdong)]

Approved for backporting.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I think this belongs in a stable release update, not a backport.

[Tollef Fog Heen (tfheen)]

Not appropriate for backport, but rather for SRU.

[Tollef Fog Heen (tfheen)]

I have unsubscribe the ubuntu-archive team and subscribed the motu-sru team. Somebody please provide a backported fix if you think it's appropriate and then follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Hi,

unsubscribing motu-sru again: the motu-sru team will only approve/reject requests, not handle them. Please resubscribe as soon as someone will take care for this and provides a debdiff to review.

Thanks,
     Stefan.

[JC Hulce (soaringsky)]

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. The version of Ubuntu referenced in this issue has reached end of life, and the issue is fixed in newer versions of Ubuntu. Therefore, I am closing the Dapper task.
Please see this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
