same to me. This is the German error Message:

dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes spamassassin (--configure):
 Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript wurde unterbrochen
dpkg: Abhängigkeitsprobleme verhindern Konfiguration von sa-compile:
 sa-compile hängt ab von spamassassin; aber:

[lordnikkon]

Looks like this is a Kernel Bug: Resolved - Plesk Update Fails but not sure. Can someone confirm that?

 

[AndreiW]

Any help with this?

This issue may occur because `lo` interface is not configured with IPv6 loopback address. So, with command

# ip a

make sure that "::1/128" IPv6 address is assigned to lo interface.

Additionally in /etc/profile check that in this place no extra dot:
....
#### AMH ####
if [ `/usr/bin/lspci | /bin/grep VMware | /usr/bin/wc -l` -eq 0 ]
then
. /etc/init.d/msm_profile. <-------HERE IT WAS
#echo "hi"
fi
#### AMH ####

Contact Plesk Support Team if these suggestions not help.

What is the output of command

# su - debian-spamd -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys --import /usr/share/spamassassin/GPG.KEY"

?

 

[AndreiW]

Exactly this error:

su - (here) debian-spamd -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys --import /usr/share/spamassassin/GPG.KEY"

If I removed the minus - works like it should

su debian-spamd -c "sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys --import /usr/share/spamassassin/GPG.KEY"

But this don't solve it, because that - is present in other files too.

 

[AndreiW]

I replaced the - and now I have a problem with folders ownership, root instead of debian-spamd
So must be something else

 

[AndreiW]

I have find a way to install it properly

After apt-get install fails, go to these two files and replace #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash
/var/lib/dpkg/info/spamassassin.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/sa-compile.postinst
Then repeat apt-get install
