Package: postfix
Version: 2.5.5-1.1
Severity: normal
If you attempt to run postmap before network interfaces have been created,
it crashes with the following error:
postmap: fatal: could not find any active network interfaces
It seems that postmap is playing around with networking stuff, even though
it is only used to make .db key/value pair files.
The workaround is to do an "ifconfig lo up" before running postmap, but
that's kind-of silly. I understand that "postmap -q" can query remote
sources (eg; LDAP), but do I really need an active network interface just to
manipulate files on my own hard disk?
Thanks,
Tyler
