[Bug 1421984] Re: do-release-upgrade LTS 12.04.5 -> 14.04.1 --- package spamassassin 3.4.0-1ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[Michael T.]

found a hint somewhere to change

/var/lib/dpkg/info/spamassassin.postinst

Change

    su - $OWNER -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys \
        --import /usr/share/spamassassin/GPG.KEY"

to

    su - $OWNER -s /bin/bash -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys \
        --import /usr/share/spamassassin/GPG.KEY"


now it works
  dpkg --configure spamassassin

maybe a side effect of  new? standard shell /bin/sh -> dash and
incompatible /etc/profile
