[Bug 611226] [NEW] Dovecot-common Install Error

[Ian Barton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dovecot-common

I am trying to install dovecot-imapd on a computer runming the following
kernel: 2.6.32-305-ec2. I get the following errors:


root at xenmail:~# dpkg --configure dovecot-common
Setting up dovecot-common (1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.1) ...
Creating generic self-signed certificate:  /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
(replace with hand-crafted or authorized one if needed).
hostname: Name or service not known
dpkg: error processing dovecot-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 dovecot-common

I have xenmail.wilkesley.net in /etc/hosts. It looks as though the
postinst script is failing somehow.

Running dpkg --reconfigure dovecot-common gives the same error.

After a bit of googling I found that I can install without errors if I
first add the Dovecot security certificates to /etc/ssl/certs and
/etc/private/ssl manually.

Ian.
