Hoary Array 6 Installation Report - possible bug

[Herbert Straub]

After a fresh install of Hoary Array 6 the mail.log grows and grows. Four
Installation messages are in the postfix queue and cannot deliverd. I think this
i a bug (or i'm wrong?). Details:

This program will now walk you through the process of setting up your
newly installed system. It will start with the basics -- time zone
selection, setting a root password and adding a user, and then progress to
installing additional software to tune this new Ubuntu system to your
needs.

I report this few days ago to the ubuntu-user list (ok, with sudo newaliases the
problem is gone...). I search additional the Ubuntu Bugzilla and found a similar
problem in warty:
