And, since they are skipped, a lot of anti-spam measures are no longer in place, so it seems.

Expected results:
No warnings, and working spam protection

Additional info:
All of the files listed in the warnings seem to belong to the newly installed spamassassin rpm (3.4.5); however, inside the files, there is the line:
require_version 3.004004
so this looks like an error in packaging.

By the way, startiung the spamsassassin service seems to work without warnings, but I am unsure if the configuration files are being used in that case
