I've been trying to install this module from CPAN with dh-make-perl.  The 
build fails claiming it can't find libgdbm.  It also complains that I 
don't have the MD5 module.  I think I have both.  I wonder what painfully 
obvious thing I'm overlooking...


twocups:~# dpkg -l libgdbm\*
ii  libgdbmg1      1.7.3-27       GNU dbm database routines (runtime 
version).
twocups:~# dpkg -l libdigest-md5-perl
ii  libdigest-md5- 2.14-1         Perl interface to the MD5 Algorithm



twocups:~# dh-make-perl --build --cpan Mail::SpamAssassin
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

  CPAN: MD5 security checks disabled because MD5 not installed.
  Please consider installing the MD5 module.
