1. Depends on some PERL packages: libarchive-tar-perl, libio-zlib-perl. Debian
packages did not enforce this dependency. I installed them manually.
2. Fails after several time outs with:
http: request failed: 500 read timeout: 500 read timeout
error: no mirror data available for channel updates.spamassassin.org
channel: MIRRRED.BY contents were missing, channel failed
EIther the rules update site is not ready or this PERL script needs some
configuration. EIther way, not ready to play.

Is the debian package SA 3.1.0 or 3.1.1?

If 3.1.0, known issue. sa-update was fixed in 3.1.1.

I have debian 3.1.1 installed. And guess what is no longer working (as per
another posting!).

Debian

also should depend on libwww-perl

Did you file a bug report?

No, I did not. If Debian maintainers are responsible for this, I will. Easy
enough. Poster says that this is no longer a problem in 3.1.1 and that the
site is simply off line for now so I will wait a bit.

This can occur if you've got HTTP on port 8090 firewalled since this is
what the current mirroring system uses.

Hm, who sets up the dependencies if not them?

Yeah, maybe all of that is already fixed in 3.1.1. We'll see :)
