Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu. Your logs show that the postinst of sa-compile is failing: Setting up sa-compile (3.4.2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1) ... Running sa-compile (may take a long time) /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: unrecognized relocation (0x2a) in section `.init' /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Mail/SpamAssassin/CompiledRegexps/body_0/body_0.so] Error 1 command 'make PREFIX=/tmp/.spamassassin30894w5EWWQtmp/ignored INSTALLSITEARCH=/var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/5.018/3.004002 >>/tmp/.spamassassin30894w5EWWQtmp/log' failed: exit 2 dpkg: error processing package sa-compile (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 25
Specifically: sa_compile() { OWNER=$(stat -c '%U' /var/lib/spamassassin) # Compile, if rules have previously been compiled, and it's possible if [ -x /usr/bin/re2c -a -x /usr/bin/sa-compile ]; then echo "Running sa-compile (may take a long time)" su - $OWNER -c "sa-compile --quiet" invoke-rc.d spamassassin restart fi } A fresh trusty install of sa-compile finish properly, so something must have changed in your system. Can you please run this command as root and paste the output here: su - $(stat -c '%U' /var/lib/spamassassin) -c sa-compile It's the same command as in the postinst script, I just removed the --quiet option Also, let's check that crti.o file. This is mine on a fresh trusty container: root@trusty-sacompile:~# l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.4K Jan 15 2018 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o root@trusty-sacompile:~# md5sum /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o 10928fa2a94ba8eb8bf5ffa292e88d48 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o root@trusty-sacompile:~# dpkg-query -W libc6-dev libc6-dev:amd64 2.19-0ubuntu6.14 What is your output for the above commands? ** Changed in: spamassassin (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to spamassassin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803633 Title: package sa-compile 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 25 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spamassassin/+bug/1803633/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
