Package: postfix
Version: 3.1.3-1
Severity: normal
I provide my own main.cf in a separate .deb via config-package-dev.
So I preseed postfix to disable postinst's main.cf:
debconf-set-selections <<< 'postfix postfix/main_mailer_type select No
configuration'
This worked (with some postfix-multi warnings) about a month ago, but now I get
this:
root@slime:~# dpkg --configure postfix
Setting up postfix (3.1.3-1) ...
Postfix was not set up. Start with
cp /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.debian /etc/postfix/main.cf
. If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed. To view Postfix configuration
values, see postconf(1).
After modifying main.cf, be sure to run 'service postfix reload'.
cp: cannot stat '/etc/postfix/main.cf': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package postfix (--configure):

I think this is due to the #838528 fix being a bit over-enthusiastic:
root@slime:~# sed -i 1s/$/vx/ /var/lib/dpkg/info/postfix.postinst
root@slime:~# dpkg --configure postfix
[...]
# Make sure we have main/master.cf.proto for multi-inst (#838528)
if [ ! -f /etc/postfix/main.cf.proto ]; then
cp /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.cf.proto
fi
+ [ ! -f /etc/postfix/main.cf.proto ]
+ cp /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.cf.proto
cp: cannot stat '/etc/postfix/main.cf': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package postfix (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I am not sure how this should be fixed.
