I can't reproduce this I'm afraid. I've created the most minimal system with "debootstrap --variant=minbase jessie", chroot into that and "apt-get install nullmailer" still results in a readable /etc/mailname. Same for unstable. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9 Jan 24 00:51 /etc/mailname I don't use Ganeti so can't myself explore what might be different. If you generate an image without nullmailer and then install it from an ssh or console session, does the problem still show ? I.e. is it to do with the image bootstrap process or is it innate to the virtual environment. Nick
