Installed: 3.4.1-8build1

According to the release notes for Spamassassin 3.4.2 there have been
significant bug fixes and changes made in the newer package. Some are
noted below. Suggest that a 3.4.2 version of Spamassassin be released
for 18.04LTS.
"There is one specific pressing reason to upgrade.
Specifically, we will stop producing SHA-1 signatures for rule updates. This
means that
while we produce rule updates with the focus on them working for any release
from
v3.3.2 forward, they will start failing SHA-1 validation for sa-update.
*** If you do not update to 3.4.2, you will be stuck at the last ruleset
with SHA-1 signatures in the near future. ***"

the SA core:
CVE-2017-15705, CVE-2016-1238, CVE-2018-11780 & CVE-2018-11781"
