That's probably caused by the call dosym /etc/mail/spamassassin /etc/spamassassin But that error message doesn't make any sense: /etc/mail/spamassassin is and is supposed to be a directory. What does ls -ld /etc/spamassassin /etc/mail/spamassassin give?

open if you haven't figured out how to remove the /etc/spamassassin file (not sure where it got turned into a file though - thought it was always a symlink)
has been fixed since the last emerge -u world Bug can be closed
closing
