[Bug 656048] Re: package amavisd-new-postfix fails to install whenpostfix configured for 'Local only'

[Dave Kliros]

I'm very new to Linux. I just installed Ubuntu one week ago. I have no idea 
at all what to tell you or how to do what you suggested. I can tell you 
however, that this crash occurred AFTER I tried to remove the "Clam" 
antivirus program. I couldn't get it to work right and decided I will just 
not open any mail attachments while I am booted into Linux.

So, I tried removing Clam and as the removal process tried to complete, I 
received that crash notice and was asked to send it on...so I did.

One other issue that came up during that same session is that as it updated 
the installation, I noticed it download a package referencing the boot menu. 
I had a triple boot setup with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Linux/Ubuntu. 
As I rebooted from that session to finalize the removal of software, and the 
installation of the updates to the system, it would not boot at all except 
to some DOS looking screen that I've not seen before. Not a blue crash 
screen, a black DOS looking screen that appeared to be asking me for some 
input in order to proceed. I just ctrl/alt/delete to reboot again and used 
my Windows 7 disk to repair the boot menu. I now have the old windows boot 
menu, and I used easy BCD to include Ubuntu last week when I installed it. 
So, on that old Windows boot menu, all of my installed systems still appear 
and boot just fine with the exception of Linux/Ubuntu. When I select it to 
boot it just loops me back to the Windows boot menu...so evidently, the 
Ubuntu update that included the grub boot menu update with it was 
responsible for removing my Windows boot menu.
