Package: opensmtpd Version: 6.0.3p1-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear opensmtpd maintainers.
I found minimal fresh installations where missing /etc/mailname and running
non-fqdn hostname, breaks debconf processing and left package at broken state:
~# export DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer apt-get install -f
[...]
Setting up opensmtpd (6.0.3p1-4) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
opensmtpd
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This was cased by a validation that slip through. See below a possible

Thanks in advance for all your work around opensmtpd!
