Bug#717951: sendmail-bin: fails to install: postinst gets stuck in an infinite loop

Package: sendmail-bin
Version: 8.14.4-4
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package sendmail-bin.
  (Reading database ... 9168 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking sendmail-bin (from .../sendmail-bin_8.14.4-4_amd64.deb) ...
  Setting up sendmail-bin (8.14.4-4) ...

  You are doing a new install, or have erased /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.
  If you've accidentaly erased /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, check /var/backups.
  
  I am creating a safe, default sendmail.mc for you and you can
  run sendmailconfig later if you need to change the defaults.

  To enable sendmail SASL2 support at a later date, invoke

  OpenSSL is not installed, will not configure sendmail support for it.
  
  to install openssl, get openssl.
  
  To enable sendmail TLS support at a later date, invoke 
/usr/share/sendmail/update_tls
  
   
  Updating /etc/hosts.allow, adding sendmail: all.
  
  Please edit /etc/hosts.allow and check the rules location to
  make sure your security measures have not been overridden -
  it is common to move the sendmail:all line to the *end* of
  the file, so your more selective rules take precedence.

This is a new problem that has recently appeared in sid.
