The `postinst` script contains a directive to start the `systemd` service (via `invoke-rc.d`); that tries to run `sa-compile`.
On one (low-powered) system where I'm experiencing this, running `sa- compile` takes about 3 minutes. This hits the (default) timeout of 1min 30s; the service fails; `postinst` fails. Increasing the timeout in any manner (e.g. in `/etc/systemd/system.conf`) helps work around the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208410 Title: package spamassassin 3.3.2-6ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gubuntu-desktop/+bug/1208410/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
