Hi,
I'm seeing an error when the cron job under Debian runs for SA 3.4.0.

I get this error from the cron job:

/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
config: no configuration text or files found! do you need to run 'sa-update'?
Timeout::_run: check: no loaded plugin implements 'check_main': cannot scan!
Check the necessary '.pre' files are in the config directory.
sa-update failed for unknown reasons


To investigate further, I ran su debian-spamd -c 'sa-update -D --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys':

Check the necessary '.pre' files are in the config directory.

It looks like the problem relates to the error that /etc/mail/spamassassin is not accessible. That directory exists, and contains .pre files. The executables spamd and spamassassin have no problem reading and writing from it. I've set the group of that directory to debian-spamd, even set the directory and all contents to world rwx, and the error persists. If I run sa-update as root, that works fine too. Only when it is run as debian-spamd do I get the error.

Any ideas?

Jeff
