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'.

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


The reason for the first error seems to be the missing
mysql socket in /var/run/mysqld/ because MySQL was stopped
by apt/dpkg. 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'
