Details

spamassassin depends on perl-archive-tar, which conflicts with perl from testing. (conflicting files are /usr/bin/ptar{,diff})

Possible solutions:
- make perl 5.10 provide perl-archive-tar
- compile a new spamassassin for testing, which does not depend on perl-archive-tar
This task depends upon
