I figured out the problem. The config file parsing in the postinst script is very fragile. If you place spaces around the colin like this:
mailhub=sasl.smtp.pobox.com : 26 Then the postinst script will fail with a mysterious message. The solution is to remove the spaces: mailhub=sasl.smtp.pobox.com:26 All is well. -- package ssmtp 2.61-12ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
