Package: postfix Version: 2.8.7-1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu precise ubuntu-patch
Hi LaMont, I've just pushed a patch to postfix in Ubuntu for <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/927803>: if resolvconf is installed (which it now always is), the resolvconf job tries to run immediately after /run becomes available, and if postfix is installed, the postfix hook will always fail *unless* /usr is on a separate partition, because / is not yet mounted rw. I think it's best to make the hook into a no-op if postfix isn't currently running. Changelog entry for this upload was: * debian/update-libc.d: before we try to copy the resolv.conf over, just check if the service is running by calling /etc/init.d/postfix status. If it's not running, there's never a need to copy, and if it's running we know the package is installed - making other checks superfluous and ensuring our hook doesn't exit non-zero if called before /var is mounted read-write. LP: #927803. Thanks for considering the patch. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
