These are perhaps symbolic links. You can check with:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/postfix/./sbin/lmtp
$ ls -l /usr/lib/postfix/./libpostfix-tls.so.1
$ ls -l /usr/lib/postfix/./libpostfix-util.so.1
$ ls -l /usr/lib/postfix/./libpostfix-dns.so.1
$ ls -l /usr/lib/postfix/./libpostfix-master.so.1
$ ls -l /usr/lib/postfix/./libpostfix-global.so.1
$ ls -l /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/./lmtp
Postfix expects these to be actual files, not symlinks. If they're
not as expected, someone messed up the packaging of Postfix on your
system. The "postfix-files" file lists what Postfix expects to
find. When reality differs, your installation is flawed.
For example, on Debian and Ubuntu systems, the Postfix package
includes a rather broken version of 'postfix-files'. Your symptoms
look a bit different, but the idea's the same.
