Maybe next week when I have my vacation but not now, it takes too long
(>2hours).

Maybe you can try by adding kluge.net yourself to the list of server
with the next line (as in previous mail):
server ftp.kluge.net /pub/spamassassin/ [email protected]
In that location there is a .src.rpm and .i386.rpm and they intervene.
You can just do the update, you don't have to install.

No, it was the --nopgp --nogpg option.
For my version of rpm (4.0.4) --nopgp --npgpg may not be added when
doing the generation of the .info files but has to be added when doing
the signature verification. (I changed the grab script myself to account
for this).
Basically the grab script ignored the error messages from rpm when
generating the .info files and just generated empty messages.
So at first site nothing seems to be wrong only needed dependencies are
not found.
