(NOTE: Some of this was discussed in bug 2329.)

The "make install" output is as follows:

chmod 755 /share/spamassassin

This wasn't from a CPAN install, but a tar download (installed as root, BTW). 
It should on default try to install into /usr/share/spamassassin, not
/share/spamassassin, since nobody has a /share directory (especially not SA
V2.50).  Because of this, it doesn't delete the old files from the
/usr/share/spamassassin, either.

This mess has currently been fixed with a symlink going /share -> /usr/share,
but this is just a band-aid on an issue with the install routine.  (The Makefile?)
Comment 1 Malte S. Stretz 2003-09-02 00:16:49 UTC 
Yes, this did break from time to time. In bug 2388 there's a patch which 
should fix this for now and forever. Alas I had to change most of the 
Makefile.PL and I really need people who could test that patch and tell me if 
it works.
