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.

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. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii cpio 2.12+dfsg-6 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.71 ii dpkg 1.19.6 ii e2fsprogs 1.44.5-1 ii libc6 2.28-8 ii libdb5.3 5.3.28+dfsg1-0.5 ii libicu63 63.1-6 ii libsasl2-2 2.1.27+dfsg-1 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1b-1 ii lsb-base 10.2019031300 ii netbase 5.6 ii ssl-cert 1.0.39 Versions of packages postfix recommends: ii python3 3.7.2-1 Versions of packages postfix suggests: ii dovecot-core [dovecot-common] 1:2.3.4.1-3 ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.27+dfsg-1 ii mailutils [mail-reader] 1:3.5-3 pn postfix-cdb <none> pn postfix-doc <none> pn postfix-ldap <none> pn postfix-lmdb <none> ii postfix-mysql 3.4.5-1 pn postfix-pcre <none> pn postfix-pgsql <none> pn postfix-sqlite <none> pn procmail <none> pn resolvconf <none> ii ufw 0.36-1 -- debconf information excluded
