Re: [Vda-users] update postfix on ubuntu 14.04

Hi guys,

from what I understand, the whole problem is that Walter tries to update his patched version of postfix with a prepackaged non-patched one from debian/ubuntu repositories. If I remember correctly, debian/ubuntu apt-get works in a way, that it backs up the original (patched version), tries to do the update, and if something goes wrong, it restores the original version.

So from Walters error message, I suspect, that during apt-get postconf failed a few times (due original patched postfix being replaced by a prepackaged unpatched one, thus not knowing about vda configuration directives), and apt afterwards restored the original patched version. That’s why his postconf output shows the variables/directives now.

If I am right, I don’t think you will ever be able to update postfix using apt-get update (with debian/ubuntu repositiories) if you want the VDA patch. Either update postfix and patch it manually (as you have done it the first time, by building a custom package using dpkg-buildpackage), or find a custom repository that has a maintainer publishing packages build with the vda patch.

Best regards,

Peter
