Did a forced upcp and got the same error.. any ideas?

I don't think you should have had any spamassassin RPM installed prior to 11.36. Your server probably had spamassassin RPM installed on it prior to cPanel being installed, and so it has remained there. But cPanel itself has historically used spamassassin that it distributed [not via RPM until 11.36]. This is why, prior to 11.36, in your /etc/yum.conf you'll see spamassin* excluded. cPanel did not want RPM updates to update spamassassin, if you had it installed, because it would cause problems with their non-rpm version of spamassassin.

So if you truly do have a spamassassin RPM installed from the OS vendor [and it looks like you do], you need to investigate removing that RPM. Don't remove it until you talk to cPanel folks though to determine if removing the pre-existing RPM will somehow affect currently installed spamassassin.

Same issue here. SpamAssassin was not installed manually however I see the package is installed but yum's log does not show it being installed.

mtindor: As far as I know and remember, we ONLY used the cPanel supplied spamassassin by enabling SA in our settings.

We will wait for some official cPanel input on this before

It just hit another of our servers.. this one on RHEL5

Hi Steve, please feel free to open a ticket about this. No need to wait for a reply on these forums.

 

[PPNSteve]

will do, thanks

It appears there is some CentOS 5.x repos that provide a spamassassin RPM that is causing conflicts with the 11.36 upgrade. I've opened an internal development case in regards to this to see how development would like to handle this -> #63288

(Example mirror that contains it: ftp://mirror.atlantic.net/pub/centos/5.9/os/i386/CentOS/spamassassin-3.3.1-2.el5.i386.rpm)

For a workaround, you can remove the spamassassin RPM and then proceed with the update.


P.S. Steve, I fixed the thread name for you.

 

[deeplist]

use the following command to remove the offending package if you're on a 32 bit system:

rpm -e spamassassin-3.2.5-1.el5.i386

Or, use the following command if you're on a 64 bit system:

rpm -e spamassassin-3.2.5-1.el5.x86_64

Then try the upgrade again via WHM.
