Public bug reported: Ubuntu 16.04 includes postfix-3.1.0-3 which fails for us installing in an OBS buildroot (so a very minimal system), with the issue apparently fixed in 3.1.3 : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842948
FWIW, the exact error message we have is: ```` [ 148s] [272/285] installing postfix-3.1.0-3 [ 149s] Adding group `postfix' (GID 103) ... [ 149s] Done.
