Using compiled rules is not essential, IIWY I'd just comment out

loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Rule2XSBody

in v320.pre.

I didn't realize that was from within a package installer. If you can
ignore the error and proceed you should do so. Otherwise you'll have to
take it up with the package maintainer.

Commenting-out that line just prevents SA from trying to use compiled
rules. Actually I see that this is commented by default anyway.

Ok so it seems I cant do anything to get it running on my side.
Funny enough that I use the official raspian which I kept up to date
with 'sudo apt-get update'
and now the 'sudo apt-get install that claims to use the newest version
(3.4.2-1+deb10u3) keeps running into such an error.
How to find out who the packet maintainer is?

But hey, I found a crude way around it somehow:
Instead of my 3b+ with 1 gb ram I used my fresh-out-of-the-box PI 4 that
just arrived via mail.
I simply swapped the sdcard (I dont know if that will cause other issues
but it did boot).
Guess what:
It did compile and install flawlessly.
I swapped the cards back and keep ignoring some wierd errors that get
printed on booting but the stuff seems to be running.
I if I had to guess I'd say the thing wont compile on a 1gb thingy
anymore - maybe earlier, smaller versions did?

Do I need to redo all anew on the PI 4 or can I simply use the working
setup of my PI 3b+ and slot that card into the PI 4?
Noob-question i think, but heck I dont know.

Kind regards

You said somewhere else:

Who wrote that tutorial and where does it point you to get the packages from?

Hmm, it says execute the following commands:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install spamassassin

Without any further params. How am I supposed to know where that command
does get its package from???

Christian,

Use the "apt show spamassassin" command to show the information about the
spamassassin package.
One of the lines of output will be something like:
APT-Sources: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages

That will tell you the package repository that it's getting that particular
package from.
For more info about the collection of sources that 'apt' & 'apt-get' are using
look at the "sources.list" config files in /etc/apt/ directory.
