Hello all,
I had a similar experience to Adam in that when I upgraded from
2.42 to 2.50, I experienced errors. It installed over the old one, but
didn't overwrite the files in /usr/share/spamassassin. All of the cf files
were from the last version. Then I saw a whole bunch of errors about SA
crying about all sort of madness. The errors were similar to what you
reported. Looking into some of those errors in detail noted that I had old
versions of files in that directory and that perhaps I could run SA with
-c. Unable to find anything on -c (and wanting a working server post
haste), I backed up the contents of /usr/share/spamassassin and did a make
install again. That recreated /usr/share/spamassassin and all was well.
I'm thinking it's just a weird snafu that you experienced...
Cheers,
Stefano
