Subject: [cobalt-users] Installing SpamAssassin on a Qube3
I'm having a tough time with it.
First of all, I'm trying to use CPAN to no avail. Here is an example
of what happens to me running as root using CPAN -- where do I go from
here?
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
Going to read y/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Going to read y/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz
Scanning cache y/build for sizes
Going to read y/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz
CPAN: MD5 loaded ok
y/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz: No such file or
directory
Checksum mismatch for distribution file. Please investigate.
Distribution id = A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz
CPAN_USERID ANDK (Andreas J. Koenig <andreas.koenig@xxxxxxxx>)
MD5_STATUS
localfile y/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz
I'd recommend removing y/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz.
It
seems to
be a bogus file. Maybe you have configured your `urllist' with a
bad URL. Please check this array with `o conf urllist', and
retry.
---------------------
The CPAN shell should be run from root, i.e. su then cd /root
Your config file directory (y/) looks like a misconfugured config
file i.e. you anssered y to the default directory prompt when building
the initial config file when you should have just jit <ENTER>. I agree
you should do a rm -rF y and also remove your cpan config file so it
can
be created again from scratch. Note when running from root and cd'ed to
root, the cpan directories will be located in the /root/.cpan
directory.
