Package: postfix
Version: 3.5.0-2
Severity: normal
This morning one of my test systems automaticallt installed 3.5.0-2 and then
postfix didn't run. The command "/etc/init.d/postfix restart" resulted in
postfix not running and nothing being logged.
Apr 19 06:56:12 sevm postfix/master[913]: terminating on signal 15
The last log entry in mail.log was the above, after that restarting postfix
did nothing.

Above is the status of the system-postfix.slice at the time of the problem, it
said 0 tasks running. I restarted the slice and then got the below result.
I don't know if the upgrade process should have restarted the slice. The
expected result is that the sysadmin runs "/etc/init.d/postfix restart" and it
just works.
