[Bug 413252] Re: package courier-base 0.61.2-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

I can confirm the install error
$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

$ sudo apt-cache policy maildrop

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Installing "courier-base 0.61.2-1ubuntu2" returned "dpkg: error processing courier-base (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2"

All packages installed without error.

I think someone else may need to double check as I'm not sure I
configured everything correctly as I have not setup a mail server
before. The best tutorial I could find was slightly modifying the
instructions at http://www.howtoforge.org/perfect-server-
ubuntu-9.10-ispconfig-3-p4 to test this package.
