Confused with sa-update

[Sujit Choudhury <S....@westminster.ac.uk>]

I have run sa-update. The rules used to be in /usr/share/spamassassin &
SARE rules + local.cf in /etc/mail/spamassassin directory.

However spamassassin -D --lint now shows the following:
[28874] dbg: config: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules pre
files

[28874] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007" for sys
rules pre fi les [28874] dbg: config: read file
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassass
in_org.pre
[28874] dbg: config: using "/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007" for default
rules di r [28874] dbg: config: read file
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassass

There is no mention of rules in /usr/share/spamassassin.

I wonder whether I have a made a mistake.

Please help!!

There's no mistake.  From the wiki 
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates

NOTE: Once the /var/lib/spamassassin/<spamassassin version> directory 
exists, spamassassin expects to find all rules underneath that 
directory, so make sure that the first time you run sa-update it 
completes successfully (see below for information about running in debug 
mode).
