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
