Public bug reported:

I got the following emails for two nights in a row:

    /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
    Argument "perl_version" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at (eval 616) line 1.
    Argument "perl_version" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at (eval 1100) line 1.
    Nov 29 07:01:11.552 [522] warn: Argument "perl_version" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at (eval 550) line 1.
    Nov 29 07:01:11.765 [522] warn: Argument "perl_version" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at (eval 1034) line 1.

I was unable to reproduce them by running

    sh -x /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin

this morning.

There have been no software updates since Nov 25, according to
/var/log/dpkg.log, so I'm forced to assume the appearance of these
warnings depends on the contents of wherever spamassassing goes to fetch
its updates.
