found another hint (http://www.wlug.org.nz/SpamAssassinNotes):

debug: open of AWL file failed: Cannot open auto_whitelist_path
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist: Inappropriate ioctl for device

You're using old format database files.

The perl version change effected a change of the BDB version being used.
The bayes_seen and bayes_toks fixes are BDB files and can be fixed by
doing an db4.x_upgrade on them. sarge/hoary use Berkely DB 4.2, and you
can install the db4.2-util package. with HTML
[...]
Fix:
apt-get install db4.3-util

Go to where you Bayes DB's lie.
db4.3_upgrade bayes_seen
db4.3_upgrade bayes_toks

Restart spamassassin, and voila!
[...]

try to investigate this issue. fix is for debian based linux
distributions. db_upgrade is part of db4-utils package.

but before upgrading, save your current files on safe place.

Matthias

Hi Matthias
 
I did db41_upgrade /var/lib/spamass/auto-whitelist and also deleted auto-whitelist also restarted the spamd but I am still able
to reproduce the error
