Source: postfix
Version: 2.11.3-1
Severity: normal

If postfix has the smtp_tls_CApath option set (say, to /etc/ssl/certs),
and one or more of the .pem files in the directory is a broken symlink
(say, because ca-certificates did a bad job cleaning up), postfix will
refuse to start.  This is because cpio -L exits abnormally due to the
inability to copy those broken symlinks.

postfix not starting means mail is down, which is undesirable.  The init
script should ignore the broken symlinks since not copying them has no
effect.
