[Bug 1305232] Re: Postfix fails to start, "failure to copy certificates"

 

This bug was fixed in the package postfix - 3.1.4-2

---------------
postfix (3.1.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Update postfix Suggestions.
  * Update postfix-sqlite postinst/prerm to reflect that addmap is idempotent.
  * Restore so.1.0.1 symlinks for map libraries and change how new entries are
    added.  Closes: #850400
  * Be more aggressive in retiring usage of lmtp binary.  Closes: #850430
    LP: #1654453
  * Check symlinks separately in postfix-script, to allow library symlinks. 
    This will go away once the symlinks are dropped again.

  Postfix fails to start, "failure to copy certificates"

Bug description:
  Postfix frequently fails to start after security updates to the ca-
  certificates package because upgrading the latter sometimes leaves
  dangling symlinks behind. If that happens, the /etc/init.d/postfix
  script aborts.

                      # handle files in subdirectories
                      (cd "$ca_path" && find . -name '*.pem' -print0 | cpio -0pdL --quiet "$dest_dir") 2>/dev/null || 
                          (log_failure_msg failure copying certificates; exit 1)

  The usual fix on a high level is "dpkg-reconfigure --priority=high ca-
  certificates"; however, I would propose to change the find command as
  follows:

                      # handle files in subdirectories
                      (cd "$ca_path" && find . -name '*.pem' -not -xtype l -print0 | cpio -0pdL --quiet "$dest_dir") 2>/dev/null || 
                          (log_failure_msg failure copying certificates; exit 1)

  This would then skip printing broken symbolic links, and prevent cpio
  from choking on them.
