Hello,

Thanks for filing the bug and helping in making Ubuntu Server better!

You need to set a valid hostname.  This isn't really a package bug (this 
behavior is 
by design), but a local configuration issue, I believe.

However, I tried to reproduce the bug as you mentioned but wasn't able
to. In a Hirsute (21.04) VM, I installed postfix, configured it as you
mentioned, did upgrade, and finally upgrade to Impish (the devel
release) but both the upgrade went fix. I used hostname=xdesk and whilst
I can confirm that it did add two dots but as I mentioned, the upgrade
went OK.

$ grep myhostname /etc/postfix/main.cf
[...]
myhostname = xdesk..
[...]

Although your log shows that this is what caused the problem, I'd like
to ask if you can help me layout a reproducer (that is, steps to
reproduce this bug) so that we can help fix this?

Also, since we are in sync with the version of postfix in Debian (that
is, 3.5.6-1)[1], can you please forward this bug report to Debian? Scott
is an active maintainer and once this is fixed there, the fix will land
here in Impish (the next release) and we can further backport (SRU) this
fix to older releases, depending upon the patch and its details, et al.
Thanks!
