Hi @maxCSA , thank you for reporting the problem.

This is a problem specific to RPM distribution in EPEL 7 repository.

I prepare a patch for now. Could you please apply it and check if the problem will be solved?

[ikedas]

Hi @maxCSA again,

The patch has been updated. Please apply this patch and check if the problem will be solved.

@maxCSA could you please give a try at this build ?
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=102138575
It has both the Requires for perl-Mail-AuthenticationResults added and the patch from @ikedas.
I'll push it to EPEL 7 testing repo once I'll have your feedback

[maxCSA]

@xavierba I tested the packages and I had no problem.

I'm not that familiar with this kind of testing, so just to be sure, I downloaded and installed sympa-6.2.72-3.el7.x86_64.rpm and sympa-nginx-6.2.72-3.el7.x86_64.rpm (downloaded from here : https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2215304). It automatically installed the perl-Mail-AuthenticationResults depedency. Once done, I got a nice "Powered by Sympa 6.2.72" on the web interface and no more "DIED" error when sending message.

Thanks to @ikedas for the quick fix.

[xavierba]

@maxCSA you did it right, sorry for not giving more directions for testing.
I'll submit the package to EPEL 7 testing. Please make sure to let us know if you find more issues.
I believe the patch is just a stop gap workaround until a better integrated fix can be worked on by @ikedas.
That being said, I'm going to be out until next monday evening starting end of the afternoon, I'll probably not be able to do much until next Tuesday.

Here's the tracking link for the update:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-ea3f56bcc8
It will go to EPEL 7 stable repository in 7 days. The delay can be shorter if it receives enough positive karma.

[ikedas]

The problematic behavior has been fixed on the downstream. This issue is closed.

Thanks for reporting & fixing, @maxCSA & @xavierba !
