I've just upgraded OS to the Ubuntu 14.04.1 version here and downloaded and installed Magic spam version magicspam-postfix-1.0.8-1.1-trusty and on the install I'm getting and error
Missing deactivation script. Please try reinstalling the MagicSpam package to repair.

I've run several dpkg -i magicspam-postfix-1.0.8-1.1-trusty.i386.deb attempts ll with the same error.

I can bring up the web interface, but I am concerned about how to handle this issue.

Hello George,

There was an unfortunate incident with the 1.0.8-1 package that caused
issues when attempting to upgrade in specific case instances. This has
since been repaired in the 1.0.8-1.1 release (along with other items).
To resolve this condition you can run the following commands:

rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/magicspam-plesk.prerm
dpkg -e magicspam-plesk
dpkg -i /path/to/1.0.8-1.1/package

We hope this information helps to resolve this, and apologies for the
inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have any more questions.

First off I have postfix not plesk version so the instructions needed some alteration as follows:
I'm also seeing this on an Ubuntu 12.04.5 system with the precise verson.

# service magicspam-httpd stop
Stopping magicspam-httpd ...done
# service magicspam-milter stop
Stopping magicspam-milter ...done

rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/magicspam-postfix.prerm
dpkg -e magicspam-postfix-1.0.8-1.1-precise.i386.deb
dpkg -i magicspam-postfix-1.0.8-1.1-precise.i386.deb

This still results in the same error when I try to do a deactivate from the web interface as before.
