Resolved Spamassassin does not work

[Kulturmensch]

The problem with spamassassin started with Package Update Manager notification:l
E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
2021-04-04 04:25:36 ERROR: installArchives() failed
2021-04-04 04:25:36 ERROR: Exited with returncode 1.
I found out, that spamassassin caused this problems and tried to de-install "Plesk E-Mail Security and spamassassin".
Now I get the following plesk-installation log.

Status: It is not possible to install Plesk-E-Mail Security any longer and the deinstallation attempt of Spamassissin using Plesk update leads to the following log:

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Have you created any custom SpamAssassin rules? It appears that malformed SpamAssassin configuration file is disturbing the process.

No, I didn't. I have installed the free version of Plesk E-Mail security including amavis for half a year without problems and 3 days ago I got the dpkg returned an error code 1 message every day up to now.
here comes the configuration:

The key segment of the error message is the "'spamassassin --lint' check failed!" line. If you run this on your system (# spamassassin --lint), it will throw errors. Normally, it should not throw errors.

There are probably .cf files in /etc/mail/spamassassin that should not be there. Normally, there should only be one .cf file, local.cf, and that should only have a very short content with very few basic configurations. Can you identify other .cf files in /etc/mail/spamassassin or an include in the local.cf that points to other .cf files?
