Um, why's it trying to create a bayes database in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin/ ??
That's *DANGEROUS*.
DO NOT point bayes_path there.. DO NOT set any user's home directory to
/usr/share/spamassassin.
This *WHOLE* directory gets obliterated without prompts or warning when
you upgrade. It should contain nothing but the distribution provided
rulesets. Nothing else.
