Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: postgrey

On newly-installed Intrepid system from server iso, postgrey installs
fine with aptitude but says this:

[...]
Setting up postgrey (1.31-2.1) ...
Warning: The home dir /var/lib/postgrey you specified can't be accessed: No 
such file or directory
Adding system user `postgrey' (UID 108) ...
Adding new group `postgrey' (GID 119) ...
Adding new user `postgrey' (UID 108) with group `postgrey' ...
Not creating home directory `/var/lib/postgrey'.

Creating config file /etc/postgrey/whitelist_clients with new version

Creating config file /etc/postgrey/whitelist_recipients with new version

Creating config file /etc/default/postgrey with new version
Starting postfix greylisting daemon: postgrey.

Press return to continue.

And afterwards I see:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -dlh /var/lib/postgrey
drwx------ 2 postgrey postgrey 4.0K 2008-11-09 16:00 /var/lib/postgrey

Details:

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 8.10
Release:        8.10

2) apt-cache policy postgrey
postgrey:
  Installed: 1.31-2.1
  Candidate: 1.31-2.1
  Version table:
 *** 1.31-2.1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) Expected clean install with no errors or warnings during setup.

4) Saw spurious warning about /var/lib/postgrey not existing and not
being created (it gets created later in the postinst). The attached
patch is a one-line fix that gets rid of the warning.
