I just did a base install on Sunday where everything worked fine. I am using Ansible to ensure my installs are all identical. As of July 10, 2018, when I tried add courier-base to the base install it fails with the following error: Setting up courier-base (0.68.2-1ubuntu7) ... update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/share/man/man5/maildir.courier.5.gz doesn't exist dpkg: error processing package courier-base (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: courier-base E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) By touching the following files, I get courier-base to install, but it seem hackish. I am assuming they were not added or were removed from the install package. touch /usr/share/man/man5/maildir.courier.5.gz touch /usr/share/man/man8/deliverquota.courier.8.gz touch /usr/share/man/man1/maildirmake.courier.1.gz touch /usr/share/man/man7/maildirquota.courier.7.gz touch /usr/share/man/man1/makedat.courier.1.gz ** Affects: courier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1781243 Title: courier-base fails to install citing missing alternative files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/courier/+bug/1781243/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
