I was able to work around this by:

1) Uninstalling spamassassin and perl 5.12
2) Upgrading to perl 5.14
3) Running perl-after-upgrade
4) Reinstalling spamassassin

I still cannot build remmina.  There seems to be some hocus pocus having to do with missing
dependent perl XML parser libs.


Sigh.  I can't wait until the planet either: a) Migrates 100% to python or b) Learns to do
batteries included packaging like python.
