Thank you for the bug report. This error tends to show up when sa- compile and/or re2c is not installed. Though your logs show that both were set to be installed. Can you make sure the packages are actually installed with
sudo apt install re2c sa-compile and if so, try running the update and compilation again with sa-update sa-compile then restart the service with sudo systemctl restart spamassassin.service If it is still failing please let us know ** Changed in: spamassassin (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2086869 Title: spamassassin installation silently fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spamassassin/+bug/2086869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
