Package: monit
Version: 1:5.20.0-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

monit cannot monitor 'postfix' due to a misconfiguration.
monit looks in the wrong place for the 'bin' file

excerpt from /etc/monit/conf-available/postfix:

 check file master_bin with path /usr/lib/postfix/master
   group postfix
   include /etc/monit/templates/rootbin


'/usr/lib/postfix/master' does not exist.
It should read:

/usr/lib/postfix/sbin/master

when changing to the correct path the monitoring is OK.
