Package: mailscanner
Version: 4.32.5-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

On attempting to install the package on a clean sarge system I get the following:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mailscanner_4.32.5-2_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I suspect this is an upstream problem as the deb downloaded from www.mailscanner.info behaves exactly th same way.
