Description of problem:
On a system with a working postfix-1.1.5, upgrading produced the following problems:
a) removed existing postfix sendmail command;  installed sendmail.postfix but
failed to either rename it or build a link in /usr/sbin;  manually creating a
symbolic link between sendmail.postfix and the target sendmail restores outgoing
mail flow.

b) removed daily reporting tools 1postfix and pflogsumm.pl

Comment 1 John Dennis 2003-06-13 20:50:38 UTC
This bug was reported against an obsolete rpm which I'm not familar with. The
first problem sounds like /usr/sbin/alternatives was not invoked in %post. I've
tested the current spec file and it seems to handle the links correctly. I'm
sorry it deleted a file, the next postfix rpm (2.0.11) has removed all "rm"
commands and rpm itself should never touch a file not listed in the %files
section of the spec file. I don't think these problems are going to come up
again and given the age of  this bug I think I'm going to close it.
