Hi,

When your favorite distribution of choice package system fails for perl,
try using cpan :)

perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install DB_File

debian(my preferred distribution of choice... STILL :) ) has a lot of
packages and I always try and get it from there first, but... sometimes it
just doesn't work out so I always use cpan to install the package later.

There are other packages you need as well, I recommend using qmail-scanner
over the old amavis version (I haven't tried the new amavis version though
:) so it may be that amavis has gotten better.

Also install clamav as well, a free open-source virus scanner.

Also w/ you install spamassassin I consider it a MUST to install a spam
ruler updater (you can grab one at my site http://vchkpw.xyxx.com), it has
a bunch of junk there and you should be able to find a script there as
well.

The other one I install for spamassassin is bogus-virus-warnings.cf
http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/bogus-virus-warnings.cf

anyway just a couple of ideas :)
