Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: postfix

Upon boot, postfix fails with the following in my /var/log/mail.log:

Jun 29 11:14:21 shoe postfix[2815]: fatal: could not find any active
network interfaces

Once the machine has booted, I can run "sudo /etc/init.d/postfix start"
manually and it works fine.  I have a single wired connection with
static IP address.  The boxes "Connect automatically" and "Available to
all users" are checked in System -> Preferences -> Network Connections.

I noticed that the /etc/rc?.d symlinks have it start at 20.  The file
/etc/rcS.d/README says that networking isn't available until after 40,
although I think that only matters to the scripts in /etc/rcS.d.  (If I
understand correctly, the scripts in rc2.d should run after all rcS.d
scripts are done.)

This problem does not exist on a second machine with a similar
configuration.

Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty i386 (32-bit)
postfix-2.5.5-1.1
dovecot-postfix-1:1.1.11-0ubuntu4
