Public bug reported:
Postfix frequently fails to start after security updates to the ca-
certificates package because upgrading the latter sometimes leaves
dangling symlinks behind. If that happens, the /etc/init.d/postfix
script aborts.
# handle files in subdirectories
(cd "$ca_path" && find . -name '*.pem' -print0 | cpio -0pdL
--quiet "$dest_dir") 2>/dev/null ||
(log_failure_msg failure copying certificates; exit 1)
The usual fix on a high level is "dpkg-reconfigure --priority=high ca-
certificates"; however, I would propose to change the find command as
follows:
# handle files in subdirectories
(cd "$ca_path" && find . -name '*.pem' -not -xtype l
-print0 | cpio -0pdL --quiet "$dest_dir") 2>/dev/null ||
(log_failure_msg failure copying certificates; exit 1)
This would then skip printing broken symbolic links, and prevent cpio
from choking on them.
