My workaround. For now I have deactivated the entry
in v340.pre.

I've had upgraded of version 3.4.0 and now I'm
getting that errors from cron

--snip
test -e /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob && /usr/sbin/amavisd-new-cronjob sa-clean

plugin: failed to parse plugin (from @INC): "decode_dns_question_entry" is not exported by the Mail::SpamAssassin::Util module
Can't continue after import errors at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/AskDNS.pm line 192
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/AskDNS.pm line 192.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 90) line 1
--snap

Util.pm ans AskDNS.pm both are available. What must
I do? Any ideas or solution greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It would be nicer for us to just tell that what it does is a:

  /usr/bin/sa-learn --sync --force-expire

So you now have both the 3.3.2 and a 3.4.0 installed on the system,
but in different directories, and Util.pm of the old version is used
with new .pre files and new plugins. That won't work, you need to
remove the old installation, or install the new version in the same
location as Debian considers appropriate.

You probably have the old version in:
  /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin*
and the new in:
  /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Mail/SpamAssassin*

Yes and thank you. The classic mistake. ;)
I've purge the old installation.
the new is now in:
  /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Mail/SpamAssassin*

And /usr/local/bin/sa-learn --sync --force-expire
makes no errors.

The only error I show as user amavis (for example):

$ sa-learn --dump magic

Thanks for confirming.

Adjust ownership and/or permissions as needed.


Closing - user installation error.

I have a pure Debian, without any other apt sources and I had this problem too, but I think I found the problem and I have a workaround for myself.

Since I've applied the updates and a new version of SpamAssassin has come sa-clean failed with the same error.

As the amavis user I am able to run sa-learn and sa-update, but the amavisd-new-cronjob didn't work.

And I found that somehow I have two sa-learn script. One in /usr/bin and one in /usr/local/bin.

Since the amavisd-new-cronjob contains full path it has used /usr/bin/sa-learn. I've renamed it and I've copied /usr/local/bin/sa-learn to /usr/bin and the error has gone.

In case if you need the diff:
