Public bug reported:
I was running into a problem where postfix would not start up correctly
after being restarted (either manually, via automated process, or from
reboot). Postfix would always start without its SSL certs in place
(which caused a problem in my configuration); a subsequent restart would
fix it, resulting in a situation where every-other-start was successful.
I tracked the problem down to an issue in the init script that copies
the certs from the SSL location to the postfix location. In a nutshell,
it was creating a new directory for holding the copies files as
subdirectory of the target, then deleting the target (including the
"new" subdirectory), and subsequently failing to copy the new directory
into the appropriate location.
Patch that fixed the problem is attached.
