Any suggestions? I haven't managed to find out what patch-stamp "Error 1" means, a Google shows too much noise to find the signal.
That message is from make. I think it means that something exited with error value 1 when trying to build the patch-stamp target (which I think is a dummy timestamp file). So, a command after "patch-stamp:" in the Makefiles failed. I suspect that's dpatch failing, because of the error shown above.
Looking at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-dspam/trunk/debian/patches/update-dspam.conf.... it seems only to update dspam.conf.in... does it leave a dspam.conf.in.rej around? Can you apply your new patch manually OK? It might be some change in autotools which is confusing it.
