Package: postfix Version: 2.4.0-3 Severity: normal The postfix package preinst script contains some code to handle upgrades from quite old versions of the package, most being pre-etch, and many being pre-sarge.
I suggest removing these parts of the code as they're handling upgrades from very old versions which is AFAIK not officially supported. That would of course also mean removing the relevant debconf templates: postfix/dynamicmaps_upgrade_warning: upgrade from < 2.0.2-3, January 2003, pre-sarge -->remove? postfix/master_upgrade_warning: upgrade from < 2.1.3-1, June 2004, pre-sarge -->remove? postfix/mydomain_warning: upgrade from < 2.3.5-1, October 2006, -->to keep postfix/kernel_version_warning: just introduced. To keep, of course..:-) -->to keep postfix/tlsmgr_upgrade_warning: not version dependent. To keep? Handles transition from sarge versions -->to keep? postfix/nqmgr_upgrade_warning: not version dependent. Handles a transition from < 2.1 versions. -->remove? postfix/db_upgrade_warning: upgrade from < 2.0.7-4. March 2003, pre-sarge -->remove? postfix/transport_map_warning: upgrade from 0.0.19991231. May 2000(!) -->remove? I'm currently reviewing the wording of the big templates file as part of the Smith Review Project. Of course, knowing whether you'll remove some templates and which ones you intend to remove would help avoiding to work on obsolete stuff..:-) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-486 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.5-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-8 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-9 Authentication abstraction library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8e-4 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii netbase 4.29 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii ssl-cert 1.0.14 Simple debconf wrapper for openssl Versions of packages postfix recommends: ii icedove [mail-re 1.5.0.10.dfsg1-3 free/unbranded thunderbird mail cl ii jed [mail-reader 0.99.18+dfsg.1-2 editor for programmers (textmode v ii kmail [mail-read 4:3.5.6.dfsg.1-2 KDE Email client ii mailx [mail-read 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii mutt [mail-reade 1.5.13-3 text-based mailreader supporting M ii xemacs21-mule [m 21.4.20-1 highly customizable text editor -- ii xemacs21-nomule 21.4.20-1 highly customizable text editor -- -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
