Package: postfix Version: 3.9.1-10+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that when you have rsyslogd installed and then install postfix, the postfix package includes this file: $ cat /etc/rsyslog.d/postfix.conf # Create an additional socket in postfix's chroot in order not to break # mail logging when rsyslog is restarted. If the directory is missing, # rsyslog will silently skip creating the socket. $AddUnixListenSocket /var/spool/postfix/dev/log This leads to rsyslogd throwing this error in the logs: 2025-01-28T20:26:13.670487+00:00 sid rsyslogd: cannot create '/var/spool/postfix/dev/log': No such file or directory [v8.2412.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2176 ] And indeed, /var/spool/postfix does not contain a dev/ directory: $ l /var/spool/postfix/dev* -d ls: cannot access '/var/spool/postfix/dev*': No such file or directory If that directory is created manually, then the "log" socket is created by rsyslogd according to that config snippet.
