Package: postfix Version: 2.2.8-7 Severity: normal On my system, /usr is a symbolic link to another partition:
------------------------------------------------------------ % ls -l /usr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 29 2003 /usr -> a/usr ------------------------------------------------------------ As a result, the init script /etc/init.d/postscript fails to successfully stop the mail sstem. The offending test starts on line 69: ------------------------------------------------------------ if [ -f /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid ]; then pid=$(sed 's/ //g' /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid) exe=$(ls -l /proc/$pid/exe 2>/dev/null | sed 's/.* //') if [ "X$exe" = "X/usr/lib/postfix/master" ]; then RUNNING=y fi ------------------------------------------------------------ while the corresponding symbolic link points someplace else: ------------------------------------------------------------ % sudo ls -l /proc/23721/exe lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 26 00:03 /proc/23721/exe -> /a/usr/lib/postfix/master ------------------------------------------------------------ In general, that test seems quite fragile to me. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14y Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages postfix depends on: ii adduser 3.80 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.69 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.11.1 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.5-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-3 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.9 Authentication abstraction library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-6 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.0-14 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii netbase 4.24 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages postfix recommends: ii emacs21 [mail-re 21.4a-3 The GNU Emacs editor ii evolution [mail- 2.4.2.1-1 The groupware suite ii mailx [mail-read 1:8.1.2-0.20050715cvs-1 A simple mail user agent ii mozilla-mailnews 2:1.7.12-1 The Mozilla Internet application s ii mutt [mail-reade 1.5.11-5 Text-based mailreader supporting M ii resolvconf 1.34 nameserver information handler ii xemacs21-gnome-m 21.4.18-3 highly customizable text editor -- ii xemacs21-mule [m 21.4.18-3 highly customizable text editor -- ii xemacs21-mule-ca 21.4.18-3 highly customizable text editor -- -- debconf information: * postfix/mailname: lotus.bostoncoop.net postfix/tlsmgr_upgrade_warning: * postfix/append_dot_mydomain: true postfix/relayhost: * postfix/procmail: true postfix/bad_recipient_delimiter: postfix/rfc1035_violation: false * postfix/mynetworks: 127.0.0.0/8 postfix/protocols: ipv4 * postfix/master_upgrade_warning: true postfix/db_upgrade_warning: true postfix/dynamicmaps_upgrade_warning: * postfix/recipient_delim: + * postfix/main_mailer_type: Internet Site postfix/transport_map_warning: * postfix/chattr: false * postfix/root_address: dpt * postfix/destinations: lotus.bostoncoop.net, lotus, localhost.localdomain, localhost postfix/nqmgr_upgrade_warning: postfix/not_configured: * postfix/mailbox_limit: 0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
