I had the same problem and Marco's suggestion just missed one thing to solve it. In the /var/lib/dpkg/info/xmail.postinst file, there is another use of the echo command which doesn't work:
echo -e "\"debian\"\t\"0100070c040b\"" >> /etc/xmail/ctrlaccounts.tab This command should create a user debian with password debian, but fails. Therefore, the CtrlClnt command cannot configure xmail. I commented out the line and wrote the info to the /etc/xmail/ctrlaccounts.tab by hand. This gets rid of the error message: I: Adding new domain. ErrCode = -148 ErrString = Controller response error ErrInfo = Bad controller login The installation of xmail is now marked succesfull. -- xmail - feisty - deb package install error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128353 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
