One Last Issue to Resolve

I get nightly email from the Cron Daemon regarding spamassassin. It goes as follows:

/etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
channel: attempt to rm channel cf file failed, attempting to continue anyway at /usr/bin/sa-update line 825.
error: can't remove file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org/20_uri_tests.cf: Permission denied
channel: attempt to rm channel directory failed, attempting to continue anyway at /usr/bin/sa-update line 828.
error: failed to open /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org/10_default_prefs.cf for write: Permission denied at /usr/bin/sa-update line 1118.
channel: archive extraction failed, channel failed
error: can't remove file /var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org/20_uri_tests.cf: Permission denied
channel: attempt to clean up failed extraction also failed!
sa-update failed for unknown reasons

Can someone please advise me on how to get rid of this issue? Much appreciated.

Hi andreychek:

I followed the link, made the adjustments I found there, and so far so good. It’s past midnight and nothing from the cron daemon regarding spamassassin. Thank you for pointing me in that direction. Is bookmarked now for future reference.
