[Bug 523862] [NEW] package postfix (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[afterfostercare]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: postfix

I can't recall the error in great detail, however as I was doing the
Ubuntu Upgrades or Package Manager that pops up periodically it
installed everything except postfix. It had problems doing so. I was
presented with I think a password or e-mail request form at one point
but since i use hotmail.com I chose to hit cancel to the request box.
And another popped up but I forget what it asked me to enter and I
cancelled that too then it just stays as an uninstalled program now in
my package manager/updater
