Re: SMTP "auth" problem after upgrade

/me nods...

It does sound like a missing prerequisite ... that is to say, something that didn’t get updated (or perhaps, merely recompiled, if it is XS code and there was a library change). Unfortunately, packages like that can go very “deep,” with a lot of dependencies. The prereq lists in each package are not always perfect.

I’d check the bug-report tickets on the packages at CPAN and, when you identify the problem, definitely open a new one. (Even if the resolution is merely procedural, i.e. “recompile this,” it will “put it on the radar.”)

Sorry for not coming back here earlier, I was kind of busy with other devotions. Anyway, this solved my problem : `use Authen::SASL qw(Perl); use MIME::Lite;` [download] For me it works, without appearing to have any deleterious side-effects in how the program runs or how much time it takes. It would appear that something is amiss in at least the Debian Lenny packages for Authen::SASL::XS. But my knowledge of such arcane things being what it is, I could not tell what, nor do I know exactly what to do about it for the benefit of the gentile multitude. P.S. I also tried to re-install the Authen::SASL::XS packages using "perl -MCPAN" directly, but that did not solve the problem either. Which means I remain just as clueless.	[reply] [d/l]
