Hi,

While testing the installation of all packages in sid, I ran
into the following problem:
daemons using policy-rc.d.

The full build log is available from:
http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2011/08/25/dtc-postfix-courier.log

It is reproducible by installing your package in a clean chroot, using
the debconf Noninteractive frontend, and priority: critical.

This test was carried out using about 50 AMD64 nodes of the Grid'5000
platform.  Internet was not accessible from the nodes.

Hi Lucas,

I don't quite understand why this is related to dtc-postfix-courier
which is a meta package only. If it was concerning dtc-common, it could
be its fault though, but not with dtc-postfix-courier. Any idea?

This is clearly courier-authlib-mysql's fault, no? log shows the following:

The thing is, courier-authlib-mysql doesn't fail to install when
installed separately. So it's must be something that happens when both
of those packages are installed, maybe because of a depend of
dtc-postfix-courier.

I'd normally agree, but there's nothing in my maintainer scripts at all
concerning courier. This:

looks like courier is trying to be restarted and it just fails because
it wasn't started before, or something like that ...
