Public bug reported:
OS: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
Package: 2.5.1-2ubuntu1.4
Errors were reported during the update:
postfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is already running
[fail]

dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:
postfix
postfix-ldap
postfix-pcre
Whenever postfix is restarted, the following errors are shown in
/var/log/mail.err:
Jun 22 09:50:04 colossus postfix/local[30997]: fatal: open database
/etc/mail/aliases.db: Invalid argument
The *original* version of the aliases.db file gives (file
/etc/postfix/aliases.db):
/etc/postfix/aliases.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order)
... whereas *after* the update it shows version 9.
TEMPORARY FIX: Changing the default_database_type to btree fixes
aliases.db, kills the mail.errors and allows postfix to run normally.
