Tags: patch
hi,
when i install postfix to a freshly installed (with our custom
debootstrap+saltstack process, but as far as i can tell that doesn't
make a difference here), the postinst script fails to start because the
"posfix" user doesn't exist on the system yet:
# apt install postfix
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libcdb-dev libcdb1 liblmdb-dev libsasl2-dev linux-image-amd64
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
Suggested packages:
postfix-mysql postfix-pgsql postfix-ldap postfix-pcre postfix-lmdb sasl2-bin
dovecot-common resolvconf postfix-cdb ufw postfix-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
# getent passwd postfix

steps to reproduce: debootstrap stretch; install postfix
expected outcome: postfix creating appropriate users+cfg files
actual outcome: postfix fails in postinst before creating user/group
the problem seems to be that the "#DEBHELPER#" magic inserted at line
200f. of postfix.postinst contains the following snippet:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ]; then
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/postfix" ]; then
update-rc.d postfix defaults >/dev/null
invoke-rc.d postfix start || exit $?
fi
fi
# End automatically added section
which tries to start the postfix daemon before all the config setup is
finished.
the attached patch moves the "#DEBHELPER#" line all the way to the
bottom of postfix.postinst, which does fix the problem for us, but i'm
not certain enough to understand the .postinst and especially the
debhelper magic to know this simple fix doesn't introduce new problems.
