We'll now assume this file is not from a Debian package and that anacron
comes to a halt when running it because it is defective. Repairing it
may be the subject of another thread.

Meanwhile: Please follow the detailed instructions you have been given.
Moving cron-spamassassin-rules out of cron.daily should allow anacron to
process all the other files in the directory.

Once you have solved the problem posed in the subject of this thread you
can go on to dealing with the wayward file.
