Package: postfix
Version: 3.1.6-0+deb9u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
yesterday I did an upgrade from Debian Stretch 9.1 to 9.2. Postfix was updated.
During the update, no error accured.
After a reboot, "systemctl status postfix" showed this:
● postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; enabled; vendor preset:
enabled)
Active: active (exited) since Sun 2017-10-08 12:10:45 CEST; 2min 7s ago
Process: 485 ExecReload=/bin/true (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 447 ExecStart=/bin/true (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 447 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915)
Memory: 0B
CPU: 0
CGroup: /system.slice/postfix.service
When I did "netstat -tulpn" no postfix processed were bound to any IP addresses
and htop showed me not a single postfix process. The error log
/var/log/mail.log was not touched.
"systemctl restart postfix" changed nothing, postfix was dead.
Only "apt-get install --reinstall postfix" helped. After re-installing postfix,
everything was working again. I could reproduce this problem on 4 of my hosts.
