Downgrading from grave because I've been unable to reproduce it when testing various upgrade scenarios. I suspect a local issue that's not fully handled by the postinst script. > I installed today's security update (3.4.2-1+deb10u3) and got the following > error: > > Setting up spamassassin (3.4.2-1+deb10u3) ... > dpkg: error processing package spamassassin (--configure): > installed spamassassin package post-installation script subprocess returned > err > or exit status 1 > Errors were encountered while processing: > > spamassassin > E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) > > I am happy to look into the reason, why the post-installation script failed, > but how can I display the line number where it fails? Can you post the output of "find /var/lib/spamassassin/ -ls" See also #986034, which is reporting a similar upgrade issue. I'm not merging them yet as it's not clear that the root cause is the same. Note that the postinst script did not change with this package update. noah
