[Bug 1921914] Re: [SRU] package quickml 0.7-5.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed quickml package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Dave Jones]

Confirmed on all noted series; targetting accordingly. I was a little
nervous about rm'ing /etc/mailname in the postrm, but an apt-file search
confirms nothing else seems to own it (if something else owned it, it
might be better to create things like this in postinst, and just leave
them there in {pre,post}rm, but in this case it looks okay).

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  quickml is completely unusable as it will even fail to install when
  attempted.

  The errors seen are:

  See "systemctl status quickml.service" and "journalctl -xeu quickml.service" for details.

  dpkg: error processing package quickml (--configure):
   installed quickml package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   quickml
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. install quickml.
  2. check if installed successfully
  3. As a quick verification check:
  systemctl status quickml.service

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  There is no change in code and it only fixes a runtime dependency and
  places an empty config file which quickml tries to read at startup.
  So, there is very minimum chance of any regression.

  [ Other Info ]

  This will fix the quickml installation and the service will start. But
  for a proper functioning of quickml, the user will need to add the
  smtp_host (which should be same as domain) in the /etc/mailname.
