Does this machine have non-standard Spamassassin RPMS installed on it?
(The obvious answer is yes, since we don't have spamassassin-tools OR
perl-Mail-SpamAssassin in CentOS)
I would exempt spamassassin from the update process (add it to the
exclude= in /etc/yum.conf), or remove the 3rd party version and use the
version from CentOS.
