yes, /usr/share/spamassassin/active.list is included, but there's none in 
/var/lib/spamassassin/

As was already mentioned, it's not used by default.
there was apparently come confusion what's in /var/lib/spamassassin/ on 
Debian

you should run this as user debian-spamd, or let cron handle that. 
Otherwise, you will create files cron will be unable to overwrite, which may 
also cause problems (and may have caused yours)

drwxr-xr-x 5 debian-spamd debian-spamd 4096 Nov 27  2023 /var/lib/spamassassin/
drwxr-xr-x 3 debian-spamd debian-spamd 4096 Jun  4 02:32 /var/lib/spamassassin/4.000000//
drwxr-xr-x 2 debian-spamd debian-spamd 4096 Jun  4 02:32 /var/lib/spamassassin/4.000000/updates_spamassassin_org/


you can also run "chown -R debian-spamd: /var/lib/spamassassin/" to fix it.
