In this context, 'locally' merely means on "on this machine".

Yes, CM is labelled "Learn as...", in the toolbar, "Mark as...." in the
message list context menu.

As Paul said, bogofilter has changed backends from Berkeley db, to
SQLite.  Whether your OS has yet updated, IDK.  Here, the change appears
to have been handled silently.  It's a change I was unaware of, that's
for sure.  As such, I strongly suspect there are others here far better
qualified than me in getting bogofilter working correctly.

That said;  What file(s) have you got in ~/.bogofilter?  AIUI, if your
system is using wordlist.db, then you're already using the SQLite
backend and should be 'good to go'.  Otherwise, you may have to migrate
the old database to SQLite.

At a command prompt, look for command like;
bogomigrate-berkeley
It's a script that'll walk you through the migration process.  On my
system (Debian) the script appears to be named bogoupgrade.
