The previous installation directory (eg /usr/local/share/spamassassin) is ignored.
Try doing sa-update of the normal rules before you use sa-update of additional rule sets. ... And my SA doesn't score any mails anymore! I have to purge the existing SA (dpkg -P spamassassin), reinstall it from scratch, restore conf files from backups and then it works. WTF! Does anybody know what goes wrong? Use -D to print see which config files is being read by spamassassin: % spamassassin --lint -D 2>&1 | fgrep 'config: using' [31869] dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules pre files [31869] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007" for sys rules pre files [31869] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007" for default rules dir [31869] dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir [31869] dbg: config: using "/home/jeff/.spamassassin/user_prefs" for user prefs file [31869] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org/empty.pre" for included file [31869] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org/10_misc.cf" for included file [31869] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org/20_advance_fee.cf" for included file -jeff
