[Bug 286290] Re: upgrade process hangs
ok this just started to effect me on ubuntu 9.04. would getting rid of my /var/cache/debconf/config.dat solve this issue. or would that cause more problems than it would solve? -- upgrade process hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 286290] Re: upgrade process hangs
Hi Jonathan, Thank you for the useful response. I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, I cannot get it back into the state where it gives me an error. Everything seems to be working just as it is working for you. I'm not sure what I can do now. It is no longer an issue for me and is irreproducible. Still, if there was a way to help without investing a significant amount of time, I'll be glad to give it a try.

[Bug 286290] Re: upgrade process hangs
Mike, I suspect the problem was caused by an odd/corrupt/invalid set of answers to the configuration questions for postfix, which are normally stored in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat . If you happen to have a backup of that file from the time when the issue occurred, we could look at that file for clues. You could even restore your entire system to that state and reproduce the issue that way, though I realize that might well be more work than you are able to spend on this! Otherwise, since this is no longer an issue for you, and neither of us can reproduce it, I would like (with your consent) to just set this bug to Invalid.

[Bug 286290] Re: upgrade process hangs
I'm running into the same problem on a fresh install on ubuntu 9.0.4.
It won't accept my input for the qualified domain and prints out the
following to stderr AFAIK:
Warning: Newline present in parameters passed to debconf.
This will probably cause strange things to happen!
Here are the steps I'm following:
1) run sudo apt-get install postfix (It then adds ssl-cert to the list)
2) Select Postfix Configuration Internet Site
3) Enter 2oceanview.com as the domain. It doesn't accept it and restores the
default entry mail.2oceanview.com. I modify the entry again and select OK and
it goes to the question skipped issue described above.
Thus, I think there are two errors here.
a) I'm not trying to skip the question. It is just not accepting my input.
b) the value 'skipped question' to indicate the question was skipped includes
an invalid delimiter ('\n').
That being said, I seem to be getting further by choosing not choosing
internet site but instead to not configure it. Then I run sudo dpkg-
reconfigure postfix and it accepts my entry for the domain.

[Bug 286290] Re: upgrade process hangs
The sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix method of configuring (which I
assume would use the same files) is failing on the recipient delimiter
issue, though it is claiming I entered ok no matter what I enter.
I tried debugging the perl code, but I'm not familiar with per and
couldn't easily find where the get() call is being made (not in the
postfix.* files at least). Thus, I hardwired postfix.config to use +
no matter what the input.
my $delim = get(postfix/recipient_delim);
if (length($delim) 1) {
print STDERR bad_recipient_delimiter: . $delim .\n;
$delim = +;
# fset(postfix/bad_recipient_delimiter,isdefault,true);
# subst(postfix/bad_recipient_delimiter, enteredstring, $delim);
# $noninteractive = (((input(low,
postfix/bad_recipient_delimiter))[0]) == 30);
# fset(postfix/recipient_delim,isdefault,true);
# and do it again...
} # else {
fset(postfix/recipient_delim, changed, true);
$topstate = protocols;
# }

[Bug 286290] Re: upgrade process hangs
Mike, (1) The new line in parameters thing means that somehow debconf thinks there is a newline in a previous stored response to one of its questions, and that this is a problem. Are you sure you *purged* any previous postfix install before trying to install it afresh? I just tried this here on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty amd64 and sudo apt-get purge postfix sudo apt-get install postfix sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix all work fine for me. (2) I'm wondering what locale your machine and shell are using? Does doing sudo LANG=C dpkg-reconfigure postfix make any difference? (3) Your proposed domain name 2oceanview.com is not in the preferred form per RFC 1035, which has a syntax definition that shows that domain names should start with a letter. Can you please try: sudo apt-get purge postfix sudo apt-get install postfix and this time, use the domain name oceanview.com (no leading 2, just as a test!), to see whether that works for you?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release?

Sorry for not giving this info - it just happened on the upgrade from 2.5.1-2ubuntu1 to 2.5.1-2ubuntu1.2, on hardy. But while testing further, I realized that I also couldn't just go back to the *1 version. Removing the package completely, and just simply installing it again worked fine.

So it's probably unclear whether the error is really caused by changes in postfix or by changes in general debconf handling code (e.g. the perl helper libs?!) -- upgrade process hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
