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
