Follow up to my previous note:
I have been working on a similar installation problem with the udev
package and received some help from Martin Pitt. Based upon his
suggestions, I ran the following command:
# env DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE=spamassassin DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME=postinst sh -ex /var/lib/dpkg/info/spamassassin.postinst configure ; echo $?
+ set -e
+ [ configure = triggered ]
+ [ configure = configure ]
+ getent passwd debian-spamd
+ mkdir -p /var/lib/spamassassin
+ stat -c %U /var/lib/spamassassin
+ OWNER=debian-spamd
+ stat -c %G /var/lib/spamassassin
+ GROUP=debian-spamd
+ dpkg-statoverride --list /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys
+ [ debian-spamd:debian-spamd != debian-spamd:debian-spamd ]
+ test -d /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys
+ su - debian-spamd -c sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys --import /usr/share/spamassassin/GPG.KEY
+ deb-systemd-helper debian-installed spamassassin.service
+ deb-systemd-helper unmask spamassassin.service
+ deb-systemd-helper --quiet was-enabled spamassassin.service
+ deb-systemd-helper update-state spamassassin.service

OK, that looks promising. Now, when I returned to synaptic and
installed another unrelated package, it then proceded to configure both
spamassassin and sa-compile! There must be a flag somewhere that
doesn't get updated when this manual command is run, so the package
manager still thinks it needs to be performed. In any event, this
appears to have cleared the problems and make the packages as properly
installed. Unfortunately, I'm still unclear as to the source of the
original problem.
