Rules in 2 locations
Can someone clarify?
Spamassassin is in
/etc/mail/spamassassin
/usr/local/share/spamassassin
I then run sa-update
sa-update --nogpg --allowplugins --channel
saupdates.openprotect.com --channel updates.spamassassin.org
I now see the same set of file in the following 2 directories:
/usr/local/share/spamassassin/
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.002001/updates_spamassassin_org/
Is it normal?
Thank you
Irina

Just for clarification, SARE has nothing to do with the
updates.spamassassin.org channel. updates.spamassassin.org are rules/etc
from the official project. Third parties make SARE rules available
through their own channels, the SARE group doesn't publish their own
channel.
Also, "man spamassassin" has a whole section on directories used for configs.

Don't bother. SA is smart enough to notice these issues, and use only
one set of rules. By default, it will use the newer ones and, if some
aren't updated, it'll take them from the satndard dir (i.e.
/usr/local/share/spamassassin).

Oh, ok. Thank you. But...
Why I asked?... When running spamassassin --lint -D, it shows many
duplicates. Such as the following, for example:
[9460] dbg: rules: __MO_OL_91287 merged duplicates: __MO_OL_B30D1
__MO_OL_CF0C0
[9460] dbg: rules: __MO_OL_015D5 merged duplicates: __MO_OL_6554A
That is why I thought SA uses both directories and includes 2 sets of rules.
Since it uses only 1 directory, it puzzles me where these duplicates are
coming from. Does anybody know?
Thank you
Irina

Irina:
This is normal. Stock distribution rules are installed in
/usr/local/share/spamassassin when you install SA. But as new rules
are updated via SARE, they get downloaded to
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.002001/updates_spamassassin_org/. Notice the
version dependent subdir. After sa-update, SA will use the new rules
sitting on /var/lib/...
