so, what does that mean??
Dependency hell, I suppose. amavisd-new is a basically a perl script and it complains that several perl modules it requires are missing. Try to resolve the dependencies of amavisd-new in yast.
I just today finished a session with SUSE tech support, where I finally got YOU working. Yes, I know I have dependency H&LL ! I tried to run apt-get dist-upgrade and got all KINDS of errors!!! it said it would remove 50 packages including all kinds of KDE packages..... so apt isn't going to work any time soon.
Check the installation source in yast: Software -> Change Source of Installation (Check for version 9.2 and remove any previous sources) "rpm --rebuilddb" on the command line. That should rebuild the rpm database. Fire up yast and check again for missing and clashing packages. Also you can check the packages "amavisd-new" in yast. The button [Information] -> [Package Relations] will give you a list of the required packages. The list is quite long. I suggest you rebuild the rpm database, check if you can now detect missing dependencies in the system and then reinstall amavisd-new. There are a LOT of dependencies!!
I originally upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2 and I think there are still some 9.1 packages lingering... I just did a "check dependencies" on amavisd and it said all was FINE. on another note, I just noticed a button in YAST, UML ? install a UML system? was this always there and I just didn't notice it?
Haven't seen such a button but I am still using Suse 9.1 only as a server installation via ssh. Good luck! I would hate to reinstall my system from scratch. Are there any more buggy services on your system, critical installations you need to access continuously? Sandy
