[Bug 433483] Re: package postfix 2.5.5-1.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[ebeneezer]

I have postfix v2.5.5-1.1 running on 9.04 on three machines.  Each had
the same error.

Upon this error only purging postfix and the installing postfix new
works.

  /usr/sbin/postconf: warning: multi_instance_directories: unknown
parameter

   /usr/sbin/postconf: warning: multi_instance_directories: unknown

  /bin/sh: Can't open /usr/lib/postfix/post-install

  postfix/postfix-script: fatal: Postfix integrity check failed!

Based on http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html the parameter
multi_instance_directories isn't available until Postfix 2.6. In Ubuntu
9.04, which you seem to be running, Postfix 2.5 is provided.

Is there anything I've misunderstood, or can we mark this report as
invalid?
