I have the opensuse repository for kde3 in my list of updates.
Today it has 77 updates, but in the process it wants to install spamassassin 3.1.3, which is back level by several releases. I run SA 3.1.7 and install from CPAN, and I don't want to go back to 3.1.3.
Try http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/wrosenauer/[your_suse_ver]/, it has updated spamassassin rpm packages
Well Its not that I don't appreciate that, but historically suse has been extreemly late getting out updates to very time sensitive packages such as SpamAssassin. These packages are a month old. Cpan at most 24 hours old. The real problem is a "recommended" package is treated like a dependency by the Software Updater. A generic question: Why would it be so hard for a software updater package to check for the existance of packages installed by other means? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
