…I had gpg in a world-writable directory. I fixed the permissions, and SpamAssassin installed perfectly.
Thanks! As a side-note, it seems like the error message returned by dpkg (and thus SpamAssassin, I guess) is incorrect. Where it mentions “sa-compile”, it should really be mentioning “sa-update”, as the man page for sa-update contains the “--nogpg” option, and the man page for sa-compile does not. > On Oct 25, 2018, at 8:14 AM, RW <rwmailli...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, 24 Oct 2018 20:44:57 -0400 > Alexander Lieflander wrote: > >> "gpg --version” returns: >> >> gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.4 > > It looks like the error comes from inside sa-update. > > sa-update will remove any insecure locations from PATH.
