Package: postfix
Version: 3.4.5-1
Severity: normal

Upgrading from 3.4.4 to 3.4.5-1, I see the following messages after a 'su' to 
root
        Preconfiguring packages ...
        Can't exec "postconf": No such file or directory at 
/tmp/postfix.config.swGX60 line 220, <STDIN> line 14.
        Can't exec "postconf": No such file or directory at 
/tmp/postfix.config.swGX60 line 284, <STDIN> line 16.
        Can't exec "postconf": No such file or directory at 
/tmp/postfix.config.swGX60 line 386, <STDIN> line 21.

It most certainly relates to the news article at
  https://sources.debian.org/src/util-linux/2.33.1-0.1/debian/util-linux.NEWS/
however, that is no reason for the postfix preconfig to fail (and who knows 
what change I missed there)

The script should err on the side of caution, knowing full-well where postconf 
is and that it is required, and
add /usr/sbin and /sbin to the PATH in the scripts. Right now it (potentially) 
fails to do what it is supposed to
do with a $PATH it can't control.
