Public bug reported: # postfix check /usr/lib/postfix/sbin/post-install: Error: /etc/postfix/postfix-files is not a file. postfix/postfix-script: warning: unable to create missing queue directories
No errors were reported during postfix installation. However, no 'postfix-files' file was created in /etc/postfix/ and /etc/postfix /postfix-files.d/ folder is also empty after the installation. This also causes a barrage of warning messages in the postfix logs, e.g.: /var/log/mail.log: Sep 8 02:45:43 orlando postfix/postfix-script[12579]: warning: unable to create missing queue directories dpkg -l postfix Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-===========================-==================-==================-=========================================================== ii postfix 3.3.0-1ubuntu0.1 amd64 High-performance mail transport agent # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
