Package: postfix
Version: 2.3.8-2etch1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders a DSA ineffective
Tags: security
The DSA 1629-1 upgrade of postfix is treated as a downgrade by dpkg and
apt, and thus the upgrade won't happen unless the user takes unusual
action (instructing them to proceed with a downgrade):
dpkg - warning: downgrading postfix from 2.3.8-2+b1 to 2.3.8-2etch1.
Preparing to replace postfix 2.3.8-2+b1 (using
.../postfix_2.3.8-2etch1_i386.deb) ...
(Incidentally, I'll note that I tried to send this report about eight
hours ago, but the upgrade silently broke my setup by overwriting my
/etc/aliases for some strange reason, and the message went into the bit
bucket due to debian.org not being able to do a successful sender
callout test. Fortunately reportbug doesn't delete its temporary file
containing the report it had supposedly sent.)

My mistake. I hadn't realized the bug report *had* in fact gone
through.
