From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: After the FC3 update install from FC2 to FC3, the file /etc/postfix/aliases was made new, so that postfix could no more started correctly. I had to move /etc/postfix/aliases.rpmsave into /etc/postfix/aliases. I think, a file such as aliases should not be overwritten by anaconda during an uppdate install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install postfix in FCx (x<=2), make a new aliases 2.Update to FC3 Actual Results: /etc/postfix/aliases is overwritten Expected Results: Untouched /etc/postfix/aliases Additional info:
Standard %config handling is used. So if anything, this is a package bug.
The postfix package in FC3 is not using /etc/postfix/aliases anymore. Instead it is using /etc/aliases. The new postfix package is not touching the old alias file at all. Please use the new main.cf file an apply your changes except for the aliases file. Closing as "NOT A BUG".
Maybe /etc/postfix/aliases is no more used. But without an valid aliases file, postfix did not start correctly. But after copying or moving aliases.rpmsave to /etc/postfix/aliases, postfix could be started and used.
