[Bug 652519] Re: package dovecot-postfix 1:1.2.11-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 137

Hello ilio, thank you for taking the time to file this bug report and
work with us to make Ubuntu better!

This may be an issue with the configuration of the system. This error is
rather telling:

Setting up dovecot-common (1:1.2.9-1ubuntu7) ...
You already have ssl certs for dovecot.
update-rc.d: warning: dovecot stop runlevel arguments (1) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (0 1 6)

Is the system setup to listen on port 2000? Is there maybe an old process already listening on port 2000?

Try

sudo fuser -v -n tcp 2000/tcp

And paste the output here if it shows any processes already listening on
that port.

If there's nothing listening there, just try

sudo apt-get -f install

and it should finish any configuration steps necessary.

Marking Incomplete pending respond from ilio.
