dpkg: postfix: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
postfix-cdb depends on postfix (= 3.11.0-4).
This means APT broke the defined dependencies and thus all
guarantees policy gives go out of the window. This is not per-se a
bug in postfix-cdb (but maybe it needs to work around APT).
This is a bit more interesting, actually. Because postfix itself
depends on postfix-cdb now (since cdb is the default map type),
so there's a circular dependency.
The correct solution to this is to merge postfix-cdb into postfix.
I didn't want to do that yet, because upgrade/downgrade path will
be more difficult. But it seems like there's no other choice.
