/usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README.Debian.gz contains this:

"Some users have reported difficulty running spamd with an IPv6
listening address. As a work around, please ensure you have
libio-socket-inet6-perl installed."

However, I had libio-socket-inet6-perl installed and still was unable to
start spamd.

After a quick search I found what seems to be the upstream bug:

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6953

A comment in the bug says the following about workarounds:

"So workarounds are:
- specify 0.0.0.0 or :: explicitly with a --listen (-i) spamd option
- or, install module IO::Socket::IP version 0.09 or later
- or, deinstall IO::Socket::INET6"

I installed libio-socket-ip-perl and that allowed spamd to start.

README.Debian should probably be updated to reflect the correct
workaround.

Cheers,

Eloy Paris.-
