Summary:                    Wrong directory for rules is tested in
/etc/init.d/cswspamd. Thus, SA does not start.
Description: 
In the /etc/init.d/cswspamd script there is a test, if the rules have been
downloaded (by using sa-update) befor starting Spamassassin. The directory
where the rules are saved changes with every SA version.
In the current cswspamd it is tested if /var/opt/csw/spamassassin/3.003000
exists (line 24). But this must be /var/opt/csw/spamassassin/3.003001 for
Spamassassin 3.3.1
When update from 3.3.0 this is no problem until you clean up the old
rule-directory. When you have never installed Spamassassin 3.3.0 the
directory does not exists and cswspamd will not start Spamassassin. Even if
you have run sa-update.

Maybe it would also be a good idea to delete old rule-dircetories when
updating SA.
