Package: postfix
Version: 3.10.5-1~deb13u1
Severity: important
When I upgraded from 3.10.4-1~deb13u1 to 3.10.5-1~deb13u1,
postfix.service and [email protected] were both stopped. Then
postfix.service was started again, but [email protected] was not,
which broke my mail system. [email protected] was still enabled
though, so it started on the next boot.

Source: postfix
Architecture: source
Version: 3.10.5-3
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Debian Postfix Team <[email protected]>
Changed-By: Michael Tokarev <[email protected]>
Closes: 1120869
Changes:
postfix (3.10.5-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
[ Aaron Thompson ]
* debian-postfix-chroot-cmd.patch: Fix non-ASCII whitespace typo
* configure-instance.in: fix typo
* d/README.Debian: minor copyediting
* Fix some cosmetic typos
.
[ Michael Tokarev ]
* changelog: fix the Closes: #1120869 line in the previous upload
.
postfix (3.10.5-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* keep postfix running during upgrades (Closes: #1120869)
.
Instead of stopping postfix instances before upgrade and starting
them after, keep them running during whole upgrade, and restart in
one go when finished.
.
Sometimes during upgrade, old running instance might try to run
a new binary which is somehow incompatible with the old instance.
Or a new binary try to load old dictionary module and fails.
In the worst case, it will cause throttle for this service,
but it will be over on restart after upgrade.
.
But keeping postfix running will make 2 things happen:
.
1. In many situations, email will continue working during upgrades;
2. Secondary instances will be restarted automatically too
.
* d/rules: stop stopping/restarting postfix-resolvconf,
since it is pointless
