Package: mailscanner Version: 4.41.3-2 Severity: normal The postinst script attempts to open /dev/tty in order to display a message to the user. This breaks when the package is installed non-interactively since /dev/tty cannot be opened in that case. You will get an error like:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mailscanner.postinst: 417: cannot open /dev/tty: No such device or address dpkg: error processing mailscanner (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 AFAIC it would be safe to simply remove the echoes into /dev/tty or at least ignore any errors resulting from the redirection. To do the latter you'll need to enclose it in a subshell.
