[Spambayes] Upgrading python

[Kristian Eide]

Hi, I recently upgraded from Mandrake 9.1 to Mandrake 9.2, and it seems the 
version of Python also changed (from 2.2 to 2.3 I assume). Now when I try to 
start SpamBayes I get the following error message:

  File "./sb_server.py", line 100, in ?
    import spambayes.message
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/message.py", line 149, in ?
    msginfoDB = MessageInfoDB(message_info_db_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/message.py", line 114, in 
__init__
    self.dbm = dbmstorage.open(self.db_name, self.mode)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/dbmstorage.py", line 53, in 
open
    return f(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/dbmstorage.py", line 36, in 
open_best
    return f(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/spambayes/dbmstorage.py", line 18, in 
open_dbhash
    return bsddb.hashopen(*args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/bsddb/__init__.py", line 162, in hashopen
    d.open(file, db.DB_HASH, flags, mode)
bsddb._db.DBInvalidArgError: (22, 'Invalid argument -- 
spambayes.messageinfo.db: unexpected file type or format')

It would seem the database format has changed in an incompatable way. The 
question is: do I need to re-train SpamBayes (installing a fresh version 
works) or is there some way to convert the old DB?

Thanks!
