>Description:
The port py23-spambayes-1.0.rc.1 requires Python, and have this as a dependecy. All good so far. But, the port also requires a Python database module, but no such dependency is claimed by the port. When you try to run Spambayes without the database module, it complains.
>How-To-Repeat:
portinstall -R py23-spambayes
(and don't have installed / don't install py23-bsddb)
>Fix:
portinstall -R py23-bsddb
(the correct fix is to add py23-bsddb as a run depency, IMHO)
