[Bug 1531299] Re: postfix upgrade can fail due to "newaliases: fatal: inet_addr_local[getifaddrs]: getifaddrs: Address family not supported by protocol"

I've noticed that 'ifconfig' or 'ip addr' fail generally the same way:
$ ifconfig
: error fetching interface information: Device not found
$ ip addr
Cannot open netlink socket: Address family not supported by protocol

it seems bug 1323001 is related.  Also
https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/8616 has node's issue
dealing with this same basic issue.
