Now I am on dict_mysql.so. So I stalled postfix-mysql, now exiting for pqsql.

Is there a way to edit a configuration so the program skips certain features?

No, you need to fix all the problems. It seems that Postfix you are
installing is very different from the previously installed version,
I don't know whether Debian supports the upgrade path you have chosen,
and whether they upgrade the configuration files in the process or not.
In any case you're on the bleeding edge. It may be simplest to re-install
Postfix, then apply your customizations.


It really is only related to the README, now pgsql ( opensuse has a seperate rpm for pgsql ) and mysql ( opensuse has a separate package for mysql ). It is all logical, but I don't want to install these rpm's because we don't use them. I will install postfix-pgsql and see if that is the last issue.

Okay every single man page, and there are MANY, is also causing an error. This are all related to opensuse's postfix-docs rpm which does not create sym links to the gzipped page. The script looks for EX. postcat.1 which is postcat.1.gz . I also had to fix the man page location in main.cf. So far I am creating sym links to all these. argh. what a pita. I don't blame Posftix maintainers but rather the rpm creator. This isn't the first time opensuse rpm's are written poorly, but I am also not sure why the postfix upgrade command does not consider a gzipped file.

Why not wildcard the man page search? If the script sees anvil.8.gz, wouldn't that be enough confirmation that a reasonable assumption could be made that this is in fact the manpage for anvil.8?

Reinstalling will not fix the main page thing of course.
