Cannot install SpamAssassin on Ubuntu 18.04.1 (gpg not found?)
Hello,
When I try to install SpamAssassin via aptitude, the installation never gets past dpkg configuring them.
The specific error reads:
error: gpg required but not found! It is not recommended, but you can use "sa-update" with the --no-gpg to skip the verification.
The weird thing is that I have the most recent version of gpg installed. And when I try the suggestion from the first error message (i.e. "sa-update --no-gpg”), I get another error that reads:
Unknown option: no-gpg
The man page for sa-update also doesn’t list that option anywhere…
Any ideas? By the way, I’ve attached the logs of my most recent installation attempt.
I’m using Ubuntu (server) 18.04.1 LTS.

I’m not sure if my email went through last night, so I’m sending it again.
"gpg --version” returns:
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.4
libgcrypt 1.8.1
"sa-compile --version” returns:
SpamAssassin version 3.4.1
I’ve attached the man page of sa-compile (on my system).

FWIW back on 9 Oct I submitted a bug report regarding 3.4.2 for 18.04
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spamassassin/+bug/1796863
I'm hoping that it will be available soon.

You wouldn't if you don't have gpg installed in a world writable
directory.

I am using SA on Ubuntu 18.04 without any such problems. Looking at the
package changelogs for SA 3.4.1-8 under Debian/Ubuntu they are identical
except that, for Ubuntu 18.04, SA was rebuilt against openssl1.1. The only
sadness is that Ubuntu 18.04 is currently stuck with 3.4.1 (3.4.2 is
available on 18.10).

I see now - it was in the attachments.
The logs are quite clear for me:
Setting up spamassassin (3.4.1-8build1) ...
error: gpg required but not found! It is not recommended, but you can use "sa-update" with the --no-gpg to skip the verification.
dpkg: error processing package spamassassin (--configure):
installed spamassassin package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
... spamassassin could not be set up, because of the GPG problem.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of sa-compile:
sa-compile depends on spamassassin; however:
Package spamassassin is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package sa-compile (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
... sa-compile could not be installed because spamassassin wasn't
configured.

well, the problem was there already when spamassassin was installed,
Luckily the problem is solved now.
It was outside of debian/ubuntu scope - nobody should expect systems working
with external changes.

It failed when sa-compile was being installed

I would guess that there was no problem when spamassassin was installed
and sa-compile was installed later.

where did it say sa-compile?
the only mistake I see is that sa-update mentions "--no-gpg" option but
really has "--nogpg" option.
perl module Mail/SpamAssassin/Util/DependencyInfo.pm mentions that too, btw.
nothing with sa-compile.

this should not happen at all. when sa-compile is installed, spamassassin
(and sa-update) should be installed and configured.
well, I checked on debian 8 and debian 9, not on ubuntu 18.04

This is a consequence of Ubuntu (or Debian) splitting off sa-compile
into a separate package. The error occurred while checking
sa-compile's dependency, the spamassassin package.

…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.

It looks like the error comes from inside sa-update.
sa-update will remove any insecure locations from PATH. Do you have gpg
in a world writable directory or access it from a path that isn't
absolute?
If you have an sa-update and it works without complaining about gpg,
it's probably something do with the install environment, in which
case you should take it up with the packager.

"gpg --version” returns:
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.4
libgcrypt 1.8.1
"sa-compile --version” returns:
SpamAssassin version 3.4.1
I’ve attached the man page of sa-compile (on my system).
(Also I’m not sure which email address I’m supposed to send my reply to, so I’m including both of them.)

what's the output of
