Package: postfix
Version: 2.9.3-2+b1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The manual page of postfix's  postsuper needs an update.
Currently it is not possible to copy and paste the provide example.

  tail +2     has to be   tail -n +2

because tail requires nowerdays the -n option to state number of lines


And quote character should just be the single quote character,
nothing special. So 

     awk  ´BEGIN
becomes
     awk  'BEGIN
and the closing quote also  ´ to '
