Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Could you please explain what you mean by "the box was dead"? Do you mean that the input box was not accepting keyboard input?
Could you please run sudo apt-get install -f to try and complete the installation? If that doesn't work, then sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix may also work. Please let us know how that goes. ** Changed in: postfix (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250003 Title: Failure when trying to install MUTT To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/1250003/+subscriptions -- 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
