Yes, as Theo noted, that is where the languages file is supposed to be. It is currently not (and never has been) included in the updates -- there's not much point in spending the bandwidth/money to include a 100KB file that gets updated less frequently than we make entire releases. > I had commented earlier that > /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002004/ does not have a languages file.

The languages file does not contain rules. /usr/local/share/spamassassin is not completely ignored when you use sa-update. > That still leaves the question of whether everything is cool with > respect to the languages file.

Or does it just fall back and use the default languages file? Yes, it's fine. It's working as intended. Daryl
