[Bug 1735926] Re: By downloading updates, the system says it is impossible to delete old program package
Hi enrico, the package amavisd-new that you have installed needs a proper configuration. A common place for this to fail is the hostname - it needs a fully qualified domain name [1] but quite often users have only set up a short hostname. >From your log: dic 02 16:22:48 Casa amavis[6748]: The value of variable $myhostname is "...en dic 02 16:22:48 Casa amavis[6748]: a fully qualified domain name; perhaps...h. dic 02 16:22:48 Casa amavis[6748]: You must explicitly assign a FQDN of t...me dic 02 16:22:48 Casa amavis[6748]: in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or f...'s dic 02 16:22:48 Casa amavis[6748]: network name! dic 02 16:22:48 Casa amavis[6748]: (failed). Do as it says and set up a valid FQDN in that file and the service will start.

[Bug 1735926] Re: By downloading updates, the system says it is impossible to delete old program package
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. On upgrading a service this service has to be restarted to pick up the fixes. Rather rarely a real issue occurs that the newer version does e.g. fail with the formerly working configuration. But most of the time what happens is, that a service was installed, but stays unconfigured or experimented with but left in a broken state. Now on any update of the related packages that service has to be restarted, but since its config is incomplete/faulty it fails to restart. Therefore the update of that package has to consider itself incomplete. Depending on your particular case there are two solutions: - either remove the offending package if you don't want to continue using it. - Or if you do want to keep it please fix the configuration so that re-starting the service will work. Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: amavisd-new (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1735926 Title: By downloading updates, the system says it is impossible to delete old program package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amavisd-new/+bug/1735926/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
