[arch-general] Failed to start Spamassassin daemon -- after update to spamassassin-3.4.3-1?

[David C. Rankin]

warning: /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf installed as
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf.pacnew
Detected compiled rules, running sa-compile...

Checking a diff on local.cf and local.cf.pacnew, the only non-comment changes
was that the razor config isn't present in the new config (which would be
expected)

Spamassassin was running fine prior to update:

Following update and systemctl daemon-reload, and restart of spamassassin,
spamassassin fails to start:
