Yes, I couldn't remember where they were. Does his rpm install into
/usr/local/bin or /usr/bin? It's just that virus.scanners.conf assumes it
is in /usr/local/bin, so I would have to write some code to automatically
edit virus.scanners.conf for you.

The problem was always with using an RPM for it, and this is still a
problem. It's to do with the way perl is structured, and there is nothing
you can do about it.
My package includes an SRPM (source RPM) for SpamAssassin, and rebuilds the
RPM on your system so that it can guarantee to get all the directories right.

You shouldn't need to clear anything out, as it should all be in the same
place, and so will overwrite the old tarball installation.

No problem.
