What instructions were you following? It doesn't appear that you 
followed them completely. You need a --gpgkey config switch in there.

/etc/mail/spamassassin always overrules anything else located anywhere 
else. SA knows perfectly well how to load the files from 
/var/lib/spamassassin. So long as sa-update runs, you have nothing to 
worry about. If you have any duplicates in /var/lib/spamassassin and 
/etc/mail/spamassassin, the ones in /etc/mail will override those in 
/var. So get rid of the duplicate rules in /etc, as those under /var are 
the ones being updated.
