Was something changed in Postfix defaults?
After upgrade from postfix-2.5.6,1 to postfix-2.6.1,1 and restart of
postfix, I got following error in /var/log/maillog
fatal: open database /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory
All previous versions were using /etc/aliases.db, new version expect
/etc/mail/aliases.db
newaliases command re-generate aliases.db in the new location.

If this is expected behavior, this should be mentioned in UPDATING.
machine details:
FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE #0: Fri May 1 08:49:13 UTC 2009
r...@walker.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
fresh ports tree updated by `portsnap fetch update`, postfix upgraded
by `portmaster postfix-2.5.6,1`
I got bitten by this also, but I though it was only my lack of
attention.
It seems it is creating the .db in the directory where the symlink is
pointing to, instead in the directory where the symlink is (I assume
the original poster used his previous config without changing the
alias stuff). I haven't found something related in the postfix
changelog. Concerned people should maybe ask on the postfix ML if this
is intended or not.
Bye,
Alexander.
