Package: courier-mta
Version: 0.59.0-3
Severity: serious
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When performing
apt-get install courier-mta
on an otherwise clean squeeze system, dpkg fails with an post-install script
error in package courier-mta.
Installing the lenny package and dist-upgrading to squeeze is however working.
The error occurs with either bash or dash as /bin/sh. My system is using
legacy init scripts.
Please note that the squeeze system is running inside a vserver-environment on
a lenny i386 machine.
The attached patch should fix the issue.
Regards
Racke
