   I'm running spamprobe on NetBSD 3+, and I've used it from both  
pkgsrc and built-my-own when pkgsrc was behind...  It seems to work  
for me...

  % spamprobe -V
SpamProbe v1.4c using BerkeleyDB-btree-cached database.

   So, it looks like I built from source myself, most recently.   
Lemme see what pkgsrc looks like...
(I've been running spamprobe for many years, starting before 1.2, and  
always been using bdb.  I like bdb, and know nothing about pbl.   
Nothing against it, just not familiar with it myself...)

   Okay, it looks like the pkgsrc options defines "gif" by default,  
and "bdb" is an available option to the pkgsrc build system  So, I  
built spamprobe 1.4b from pkgsrc with:

   make PKG_OPTIONS.spamprobe="gif bdb"

   You could of course set PKG_OPTIONS.spamprobe in your /etc/ 
mk.conf, as it sortof the typical way to do that.

   After building that binary (which I didn't install, but) it shows:

% ./work/spamprobe-1.4b/src/spamprobe/spamprobe -V
SpamProbe v1.4b using BerkeleyDB-btree-cached database.

   Is the database you were previously using a bdb database?  Maybe  
you should try using some of the db4_ tools?  db4_verify, db4_stat,  
see if you can get some information about the sp_words database.   
Mine is:

/home/cross/.spamprobe/sp_words: Berkeley DB (Btree, version 9,  
native byte-order)

   Yours?

   As mentioned above, the first question is what *were* you using  
with 1.2?  :-)
