[Bug 430962] [NEW] package courier-mta (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Reiner Jung]

Public bug reported:

The courier-mta package failed to install (so for now I switched back to postfix as an mta).  Parallel to the install attempt, I got the following on syslog and mail.log:
Sep 16 21:28:15 berlin courierfilter: /var/run/courier/courierfilter.pid: Permission denied
Sep 16 21:28:16 berlin courierfilter: /var/run/courier/courierfilter.pid: Permission denied
Sep 16 21:28:31 berlin courierfilter: /var/run/courier/courierfilter.pid: Permission denied

As courier runs as root, this looks strange.
