Description Theo Van Dinter 2003-03-18 15:22:31 UTC 
This is related to another bug that was applied for 2.51.  But we didn't 
change the docs.  oops.

MakeMaker 5.45, perl 5.6.1 gets:

Your version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is a pre-5.45. We need to include a
nasty workaround to make it work with our make routines. You will get
loads of warnings and it is very likely to break at various places.

*Please* consider updating to a version later than 5.45. It's available
on CPAN <http://search.cpan.org/search?module=ExtUtils::MakeMaker>.

Hint: Perl 5.6.1 and older ship good versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

If anything breaks while building Mail::SpamAssassin, please file a bug
at <http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org>.

The correct fix is done via s/pre-5.45/pre-5.46/, the rest is correct (5.45 
was shipped with Perl 5.6.0, but 5.6.1 was ok). If wants to apply the 
suggested fix, I OKAY it in advance. I'd do it myself but got to go to work 
now :o)

You should have copied your comment from #1652 to this bug... 
 
Of course does there also have to be an s/and older/and newer/
