[SOLVED] SpamAssassin Mail Filter Socket6.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched

mfoley · 01-02-2024, 10:31 AM

I've just upgraded to Slackware 15.0 on my main computer. I use the SpamAssassin Mail Filter daemon run by rc.spamd. This worked fine with 14.2, but with 15.0 I get:

Code:

Starting SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: Socket6.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xdb00080, needed 0xeb00080)

Other links I've found discussing this problem (e.g. https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...a5-4175678820/) say to uninstall the previous version of Perl and reinstall; reinstall CPAN and other suggestions.

I never deal with perl, so I don't even know how to [re]install any of this. I found instructions in reinstalling CPAN: 'cpan App::cpanminus', and on installing modules: 'cpanm Module::Name'. Should I do that? What module do I need?

It worked for me every time.
1. Stop Amavis (if you use it) and Spamassassin
2. Uninstall the previous version of Perl with removepkg
3. Move all related modules that were compiled with the previous version of Perl with the script in the link
4. Install the new version of Perl with installpkg
5. Install CPAN
6. Rebuild all desired Perl packages with the current version of Perl means Amavis, Spamassassin, etc
7. The folders moved by that script will be deleted

Reinstall CPAN (at Linux console):

Code:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

or

Code:

cpan

Code:

 install Bundle::CPAN

Code:

reload cpan

Code:

quit

teoberi: Thanks, those instructions mostly worked with a couple of mods. First I checked for move "scripts" in your referenced links and came up with:

Code:

export VERSION="-versionX"
mv /usr/local/lib64/perl5  /usr/local/lib64/perl5$VERSION
mv /usr/local/shared/perl5  /usr/local/shared/perl5$VERSION
mv /root/.cpan /root/.cpan$VERSION
mv /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl$VERSION
mv /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl$VERSION
mv /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5$VERSION
mv /usr/share/perl5 /usr/share/perl5$VERSION

I have no idea what the previous version was so I just called it "versionX". Some of these were not found. I hope this is the script to which you were referring.

To install Perl, 'installpkg perl' didn't work, I had to do 'slackpkg install perl'.

I didn't notice your "or" on 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' or 'cpan' so I did both. I don't suppose that hurt. The 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' asked me to install 'install Term::ReadLine::Perl' so at the 'cpan[2]>' prompt I entered that. It installed and left me at the 'cpan>' prompt, so I typed "exit".

Being Perl-challenged, I didn't realize at first that your following commands were to be from within 'cpan', but I figured that out and did:

Code:

# cpan
cpan[1]> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan[2]> reload cpan
cpan[3]> quit

I then:

Code:

# removepkg spamassassin
# sqg -p spamassassin
# sbopkg -i spamassassin

Unfortunately, that failed:

Code:

This isn't a mismatch error, but still seems Perl related.

Any ideas?

It refers to the previous version of Perl installed.
Before the Perl update you can find it with the command:

Code:

ls /var/log/packages | grep perl

You use package management automation tools (slackpkg) but you could also take a look at the classic Slackware tools.
I don't use sbopkg to install packages (old man, old habits, that is, I install by compiling from sources the packages that are not official in Slackware) so I don't know if you install Spamassassin from here, but if you do, it is already a new version 4.0.0 and it will come in soon 4.0.1
You can find out the version of Spamassassin with the command:

Code:

slackpkg Info <packagename>

The error message needs to be debugged.
Maybe you don't have the librsvg/svgalib Slackware packages installed (check with above command "slackpkg Info"), or maybe a problem with the Perl modules that Spamassassin depends on (check here).
Is that the only error message that appears?

I looked in /var/log/removed_packages and found perl-5.34.0-x86_64-2_slack15.0. So that is the same package I reinstalled.

Yes, sbopkg does use the repository in https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0

'slackpkg info' (or slackpkg search) doesn't work on installs from SlackBuilds, but 'spmassassin --version' gives 3.4.6, which is the current one in SlackBuilds.

In fact, I aborted the build after I got that first "Would you like to continue processing ..." message. In order to answer your question I re-ran and answered 'Yes' to this question, and several more after that! In the end, spamassassin and spamd got built and installed. Perhaps those errors were for Perl modules SpamAssassin doesn't use?

I fired up spamd and spamass-milter and they ran and are running. It looks like the re-install and cpan stuff must have worked. I'll give this a day or so and see if it traps spam -- which I've been getting quite a bit of without my spamass-milter running. Stay tooned!

If it is OK, you can mark it as "Solved".
Using these automation tools, you don't really know what's going on under the hood.

Cheers.

It seems to be running fine. It's been trapping email today. You're right about "under the hood".
