I see now - it was in the attachments.
The logs are quite clear for me:
Setting up spamassassin (3.4.1-8build1) ...
error: gpg required but not found! It is not recommended, but you can use "sa-update" with the --no-gpg to skip the verification.
dpkg: error processing package spamassassin (--configure):
installed spamassassin package post-installation script subprocess returned
error exit status 2
... spamassassin could not be set up, because of the GPG problem.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of sa-compile:
sa-compile depends on spamassassin; however:
Package spamassassin is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package sa-compile (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
... sa-compile could not be installed because spamassassin wasn't
configured.

this should not happen at all. when sa-compile is installed,
spamassassin (and sa-update) should be installed and configured.
I would guess that there was no problem when spamassassin was installed
and sa-compile was installed later.
well, the problem was there already when spamassassin was installed,
Luckily the problem is solved now.
It was outside of debian/ubuntu scope - nobody should expect systems working
with external changes.
