Hi Eric,

I'm aware of the problem, but don't yet have a solution.  

Recently I upgraded my workstation from Mandrake 9.1 to Mandrake 9.2. 
Of course this loaded a gazillion RPMs, including rpm, rpm-build,
rpm-devel, etc.  The "make rpm" procedure for bogofilter hasn't been
changed, but now there are the new dependencies.  AFAICT, something's
different in the rpm system that causes these problems.  I'm working to
find out what's changed and what to do about it.

When I learn the correction, I'll release new binary rpms.

If you're game, trying downloading the src.rpm and building your own
binary rpm from that :-)

Let me know how it goes.

David
