MailScanner 5.0.7-2

[Shawn Iverson]

For the first error, if I were to venture to guess, your
/etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions directory is present but empty.  I'm
looking at the preinst script, and it appears that the deb package assumes
a non-empty directory.  Try this please:

sudo touch /etc/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/test

and run the update again.
