Package: postfix
Version: 2.3.3-1
Severity: normal
The combination install of postfix and postfix-pcre seems to fine.
Everything also works fine when installed. However the postfix and
postfix-pcre packages are not configured under the apt repository. This
means that the mail-transport-agent isn't being "Provide"d like it
should be.
It appears to me that this bug maybe similar to #348645 (which I know
has been resolved. But I am not entirely sure. I have my installation
pinned as testing which is noted later in this email. That is the
reason that I haven't experimented yet with postfix 2.3.3-4.
What appears to be happening to me is that newaliases is trying to run
using the proper information obtained from my /etc/postfix/main.cf and
it isn't working because newaliases builds a map and I have in my
main.cf:
alias_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/aliases
alias_database = pcre:/etc/postfix/aliases
This means that newaliases won't work since its not the expected
key/value pair of a regular hash:/etc/postfix/aliases file.
When I attempt to do an upgrade, the following happens:
hood:~# apt-cache policy postfix
