I discovered that /var/cache/grab/PKG-Info/spamassassin-2.43-2.info was
empty and therefor grab didn't see there was a dependency.
I tried to remove this file and update again but every time he generates
an empty file.
What I think that the problem is that on the ftp server there is a .i386
and a .src version of the archive available and because the .src does
not have any dependencies this is written in the
spamassassin-2.43-2.info file.
I'm using RH7.2, the repository for spamassassin:
server ftp.kluge.net /pub/spamassassin/ [email protected]

greets,
Staf.

PS: My previous report about a failed dependency is I think solved. I
noticed I had a bunch of empty files in /var/cache/grab/PKG-Info and
have them removed now.
