Public bug reported: When trying to set up a new 24.04 installation and use the following commands, you MUST configure postfix even if it is not installed.
sudo -S apt -y install autoconf automake bison build-essential byacc cmake csh curl default-jdk default-jre emacs flex g++ gawk gcc gfortran git ksh libcurl4-openssl-dev libjpeg-dev libncurses6 libpixman-1-dev libpng-dev libtool libxml2 libxml2-dev m4 make ncview okular openbox pipenv pkg-config python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-dateutil tcsh unzip xauth xorg time Even using the askubuntu help page about installing it and purging it did not make the bug go away. You have to set up and install postfix to use apt. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1192156/how-to-completely-erase-postfix I expect that the postfix prompt wouldn't show up like I would see in 22.04. Only in 24.04 does this happen.
