Bug#875958: #875958 sa-compile: The package fails to run sa-compile

I ran into this problem as well and I found this way to get spamassassin installed. While installing spamassassin using apt-get install; the user-id debian-spamd is created and given the /bin/sh - shell. After I changed the shell to /bin/bash and issued the "apt-get install spamassassin"
