           Summary: sa-learn with --dbpath tries to open
                    ~/.spamassassin/bayes* first.
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: Learner
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: matthew@mxtelecom.com


When spamassassin learns into a bayes database specified using --dbpath, it
first appears to try to open ~/.spamassassin/bayes* for the current user
regardless, which may generate warnings & errors which it then appears to ignore.

e.g.:

% sa-learn --dump=magic --dbpath /etc/mail/virtual/domain/localpart/bayes
bayes: bayes db version 2 is not able to be used, aborting! at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pm line 160.
0.000          0          3          0  non-token data: bayes db version
0.000          0       4593          0  non-token data: nspam
0.000          0       6334          0  non-token data: nham
...

the error is obviously inconsistent - and results from trying to open obsolete a
bayes db in ~/.spamassassin/bayes*.  The workaround is simply to remove the
bayes db from the ~/.spamassassin folder.

If --dbpath is set, presumably SA should not autocreate ~/.spamassassin paths,
either.

The problem can be diagnosed by running sa-learn in -D mode and seeing what db
it complained about trying to open.

The same problem appears to occur when SA autolearns ham or spam in spamd or
presumably normal spamassassin.
