In postfix 3.11, newaliases command doesn't work without arguments:
$ newaliases
postalias: warning: unsupported dictionary type: . Is the postfix-
package installed?
postalias: fatal: unsupported map type:
This happens with basically empty main.cf - I only have
compatibility_level here for test.
It seems like $default_database_type in the default alias_database
is not expanded when reading parameters in mail_params_init().
When var_alias_db_map variable is assigned value, it is already
":/etc/aliases" - with empty prefix.
For test, I built postfix with no other build options in CCARGS etc,
using all defaults. In particular, the build was with berkeley DB
available, and with DEF_DB_TYPE not specified so it's set to hash
by default.
When default_database_type is explicitly set in main.cf, the
problem goes away.
The following patch fixes the issue:

I haven't looked at the other issue, as I can't (yet) reproduce it.
Thanks,
