I think postfix on debian needs a responsefile to be installed error free on an unattended install. At least I'm always providing one in my postfix module. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2777: Puppet/Debian always fails to install all packages (only the first time)z http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2777 Author: Nico Schottelius Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Debian Target version: 0.22.1 Affected version: 0.24.5 Keywords: Branch: Everytime I install a new machine with fai, which then installs puppet, the first time puppet runs it creates a situation, in which I have to run "apt-get -f install" manually and then restart puppet to get the rest done. It seems it is related to the postfix installation, because it just happens after puppet tries to install postfix: err: //Node[sgn-t42-01]/ethz_systems::generic/ethz_systems/common::nico/Package[postfix]/ensure: change from purged to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install postfix' returned 100: Reading package lists...
