Find a file called init.pre (usually /etc/mail/spamassassin) and softlink it
to /usr/share/spamassassin or /usr/local/spamassassin, where your regular
spamassassin related *.cf exist..

but this is a workaround not the actual fix, the actual fix involves
correcting one the following in MailScanner.conf

SpamAssassin Install Prefix =
SpamAssassin Site Rules Dir = /etc/mail/spamassassin
SpamAssassin Local Rules Dir =
SpamAssassin Default Rules Dir =

The values listed here (including the blanks) work fine for me.
