[Bug 1031795] Re: package postfix 2.9.3-2~12.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Clint Byrum]

Setting up postfix (2.9.3-2~12.04.1) ...

Postfix configuration was not changed.  If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed.  To view Postfix configuration
values, see postconf(1).

After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.

Running newaliases
 * Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix        
[ OK ]
 * Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix        postfix/postfix-script: fatal: the Postfix mail system is already running

Does that mean though that the restart action of the init script does
not actually make sure postfix is stopped? That seems like a bug. I
notice the command does:

        if ! ${CMD} quiet-stop; then
            RET=1
        fi

and a RET of 1 would make it not print [OK], so it seems to me that the
quiet-stop command is not actually waiting for postfix to die.
