[Impact]
* Perl version in Artful complains about deprecated regex usage in
spamassassin. This works but floods consoles and status mails.
* Fix is a backport of the small upstream change
[Test Case]
* simply run sa-learn in any way, for example
$ sa-learn --help
In unfixed versions you'll see the following all over the place (also
on install and in status mails)
Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal
in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.{
<-- HERE ,200}).*$/ at
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 923.
* these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes
the problem.
[Regression Potential]
* sa-learn worked in some tests, but there could be unexpected
cases where this breaks by very slight behavior changes.
OTOH the change is upstream a while now, so the chance it
really broke anything is low.
Also the change is essentially 1 chomp moved and 3 pattern matches
adapted to new syntax - so the amount that slips our review thoughts
should be low.
[Other Info]
