[Bug 390293] Re: errors on startup

[Daniel Hahler]

The issue might be indeed that postfix is not running.
It appears that starting the policyd daemon "just" fails in your case.

The code for this is just:
  start)
        echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON -- -c $DAEMON_CONFIG
        echo "$NAME."
        ;;

Try running the daemon from the command line, maybe there's more info.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: postfix-policyd
  
  startup error: postfix-policyd
  current system info:
  don at dt-MBPro:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:	9.04
  
- don at dt-MBPro:~$ uname -a 
+ don at dt-MBPro:~$ uname -a
  Linux dt-MBPro 2.6.28-13-server #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 08:47:41 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
  
  Believe it is similar to Bug 92386 but did not take screenshot
  (yesterday when bug occurred and then had to wait for
  registration)--have since removed postfix-policyd and upgraded to 9.04
  (from 8.04 but not without issues)...
  
  I am setting up a LAMP server to run/test various packages including
  KOHA & Moodle and wanted email server available, so am not sure what app
  caused startup conflict for postfix-policyd... looked at log files but
  have not determined which if any apply.
  
  I did not expect any issues since postfix is not configured - if
  postfix-policyd wants postfix enabled it should install in off state,
  ask for configuration  or should not install.
  
  Kind Regards,
  Don
