Package: postfix
Version: 3.4.7-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
We have several servers that run three instances of postfix on our own hardware
(not in a virtual machine environment).
The enabled_instances() command from line 32 of the /etc/init.d/postfix init
script shows the three instances:
root@ariel:~# postmulti -l -a | awk '($3=="y") { print $1}'
-
postfix-out
postfix-in
After upgrading from 3.4.7-1 to 3.4.7-2 the init script will only start the
base postfix instance
and does not start the postfix-out nor postfix-in instances.
I reverted /etc/init.d/postfix to the 3.4.7-1 version and all three instances
again start.
I am not familiar with shell scripting, but I tried to manually run the lines
of the 3.4.7-2
init script to see exactly where the problem lies:
- in line 36, which was NOT changed, the INSTANCE var is defined by $1 above,
so POSTCONF="postmulti -i $INSTANCE -x postconf"
- Then running line 42, which was also not changed, "postmulti -i - -x postconf
-hx deamon_directory"
from the command line yields "postconf: warning: deamon_directory: unknown
parameter".
- however, running postmulti -i - -x postconf | egrep daemon_directory gives
the same for all 3 instances:
root@ariel:~# postmulti -i - -x postconf | egrep daemon_directory
daemon_directory = /usr/lib/postfix/sbin
Finally, I apologize that I have no idea how to test line 43, which was
changed, "if ! $daemon_directory/master -t 2>/dev/null ; then" from the command
line.
I wish I knew better how to debug shell scripts so I could help.
If you have a change you would like to test, I would be happy to assist (I am
going to be unavailable from Nov 20 - Dec 1).
Thank you for all the work you do to package postfix for Debian.
