Hi, I installed a mail server acording to the "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV)" If i do apt-get dist-upgrade, what happend to the special patched posfix with quota stuff ? Any one has experience ? gr Ovis
You will lose the quota stuff is Postfix gets updated. To avoid that Postfix will be updated, you can use apt-pinning: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2317&page=2&highlight=apt-pinning
Found a fix On the debian irc channel there was a good explanation for this problem. Hold is a status flag to tell apt not to automatically upgrade a package. apt will place packages on hold if they require packages that are not currently installable; you can 'apt-get install pkgname' to explicitly install the package. To put a package on hold, 'echo pkgname hold | dpkg --set-selections' In the case of the Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) documentation this could be added to upgrade the system in the future. echo postfix hold | dpkg --set-selections && echo postfix-mysql hold | dpkg --set-selections && echo postfix-tls hold | dpkg --set-selections If you want to upgrade postfix, offcource you have to fetch the new source apply the patch and install them. Thanks for the quick reply till, Gr Ovis
