firstboot in rawhide currently seems to run "setup" in addition to the 
reported python traceback.  That seems a bit strange.

spamassassin-2.63-5 should do the trick.

/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/libperl.so
RH9's perl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/libperl.so
FC1's perl

It seems that cturner added symlinks from the 5.8.3's libperl.so to the 
previous versions in otherwise empty directories.  I changed 
spamassassin-2.63-5 to use vendorlibexp rather than archlistexp since it 
does not actually use libperl.so.  One might argue that xchat should 
change to "Requires: perl >= 2:5.8.0" since it should be covered, but 
this library compatibilty may easily not be true for a future version 
like 6.0.  For this reason I would suggest that the archlibexp 
dependency is best for xchat.  When perl's version changes, you only 
need to rebuild xchat with no other modificiations to spec.
