Package: postfix Version: 2.1.5-5 Severity: normal
I tried to upgrade my Postfix 2.1.5-x installation to 2.1.5-5 with 'apt-get upgrade'. But dpkg/apt shows this errors: ======= ======= Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y Setting up postfix (2.1.5-5) ... Postfix configuration was not changed. If you need to make changes, edit /etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed. To view Postfix configuration values, see postconf(1). After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

After manualy restarting the mysql server (now the missing socket is present) and installing postfix with dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg -i postfix_2.1.5-5_i386.deb I was able to upgrade the rest of the packages with a simple 'apt-get -f install' ======= ======= -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.59 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.26 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-17 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii netbase 4.19 Basic TCP/IP networking system -- debconf information: postfix/master_upgrade_warning: postfix/db_upgrade_warning: true * postfix/mailname: asta.xxxxxx.xx postfix/dynamicmaps_upgrade_warning: postfix/recipient_delim: + * postfix/main_mailer_type: Internet Site postfix/transport_map_warning: * postfix/append_dot_mydomain: false postfix/relayhost: postfix/procmail: false postfix/bad_recipient_delimiter: * postfix/chattr: false * postfix/root_address: NONE postfix/rfc1035_violation: false postfix/mynetworks: 127.0.0.0/8 * postfix/destinations: asta.xxxxxx.xx, sisko.asta.xxxxxx.xx, localhost.sisko.asta.xxxxxx.xx, localhost.localdomain, localhost, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mydestination.cf postfix/nqmgr_upgrade_warning: postfix/not_configured: postfix/mailbox_limit: 0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
