Description Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2008-04-08 19:54:02 UTC

Due to the changes introduced by the solution to bug 166872, the postfix init script is no longer Posix sh compliant, relying on the bashist [[ syntax. Thus, people who use Dash or a similar shell will no longer be able to use Postfix. The attached patch fixes this.

Reproducible: Always
