[gentoo-user] Problem with SpamAssassin

[gentoo-user] Problem with SpamAssassin

[Herbert Laubner]

I am setting up Gentoo the first time.

After  a couple of trials I am at the point that I want to install  
Gnome. Part of the package is SpamAssassin, which the ebuild wants to  
load as version 3.2.1. Well, it seems, SpamAssassin is already on 3.2.2.


How do I convince emerge to take the newer version since it can not  
find the older one.

For right now I added  -spamassassin to USE to proceed installation,  
but I would like to fix it. -- did not work

Thanks for help
Herb

You'll have to wait until a new ebuild is imported into portage or you'll
need to copy the SpamAssassin ebuild to a local overlay and bump the
version yourself.
*OR* you just download the tarball[1] of the old version yourself and place
it into your /usr/portage/distfiles/ directory.

It should be fixed by now.
