ok, i found my problem. A line in my ld.so.conf shows to old libs. Postfix linked against these libs and so it was not able to come up.

Thanks, I did not know about this convention and I did not think of running apt-cache policy inside my i386 chroot. So, coming back to the original problem: Maybe you can find out why the post-installation script fails. You can simply edit the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/postfix.postinst and insert set -x as the second line. Then you can run "dpkg-reconfigure postfix" again and the script will echo every executed command to STDOUT. Maybe that will give you a clue where and why it hangs. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |
