[Bug 1400669] Re: package spamassassin 3.4.0-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[C. Jeffery Small]

Follow-up to my two previous notes.

I discovered a self-made problem with a script on my system that was
causing the invoke-rc.d step of the installation to fail.  This may
explain why the spamassassin postinst script did not run in this
instance.

For more detains on the nature of bug for the udev package, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/1406735

Thus, my report here may be a false flag.  However, the scripting error
that caused the problem was not in place a few weeks ago when my
attempts to install the sendmail package failed with spamassassin.  I
still believe that there may be an underlying problem with this
particular package that seems to be causing many people difficulties.
