Summary: Check for things in incorrect places when SA run with -D
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Building & Packaging

A conversation on the SA list brings up that old Debian installs used to put
the rules files in /etc/spamassassin and new installs put the rules
in /usr/share/spamassassin. Apparently without bothering to remove the old
rules in /etc/spamassassin. This has caused a number of people grief.
While that case is specific to Debian, it seems that it wouldn't hurt for SA to
perform a ratioality check on the rules files found, either at the end of
installation (hopefully after the point that each package will have muked with
the setup), or on any run that specifies -D and lists the directories that will
be searched for rules.
A couple of fairly trivial checks could be performed:
1. Were at least some of the rules files with known names that are part of the
release located?
2. Were any rules files located in more than one directory?
A third check could be made if SA has reasonable control of where the default
rules will be stored: see if some of the known rules files are really there,
and also see if any of the known rules files seem to be somewhere else too.
