My sa-learn is no longer working.  I had it functioning under Mandrake 9.1 and 
again under Mandrake 9.2 upgraded from 9.1.

I had been running Spamassassin 2.60 and upgraded to 2.61.  
The only change that I made apart from installing the rpm was to delete my 
prior ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs and allow the new spamassassin to insert a 
default user_prefs.  When I saw that 2.61 was working, I replaced the prior 
user_prefs which contained whitelisted friends and friendly organizations.
The sa-learn utility worked in that set-up.  Spamassassin worked in that setup 
and the Bayesian filter kicked in after about a fortnight.

For reasons unrelated to spamassassin, I cleaned out my system and 
re-installed Mandrake 9.2 on a clean install (not upgraded as was the above 
setup)
I installed spamassassin 2.61 from the rpm package that was linked from the 
Spamassassin site.  I again piped spamassassin from KMail as its first rule 
and used X-Spam-Flag contains YES as the second KMail rule.
I did not configure spamassassin in any manner but simply let it use the 
defaults and install the default user_prefs.
Spamassassin is working and catching about 2/3 of the incoming spam.  The 
Bayesian routines have not yet kicked in (after 2 days)
However, sa-learn is not functioning at all.  When I drag uncaught span to a 
folder created for the purpose (zsa-learn-spam) and then run this command:
$ sa-learn ~/Mail/zsa-learn/cur
The message that is returned looks something like this: 
Learned from 0 message(s) (5 message(s) examined)

This command worked in the prior setup.

I also tried using this instead (with a fresh group of messages):
$ sa-learn ~/Mail/zsa-learn/*
The same message was returned.

It appears that sa-learn is examining the file but is not learning from the 
messages.

I  am at a loss as to how to get sa-learn to again start learning.
