[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: postfix
Severity: grave

Hi

Sorry, Postfix is uninstallable at the moment if your debconf priority
is low enough to show (In Selection "Internet System") the question
"What character defines a local address extension?". It doesnt matter
what you type here, it always answers with
Bad recipient delimiter
The recipient delimiter is a single character, you entered too many
characters. Please try again.
"ok"

If you select cancle the "ok" turns into "backup".

I just reinstalled postfix.  I got this question and left it at the
default, the plus sign.  I didn't run into any problem.  Hmm.
Is there anything unusual about your locale or keyboard layout?

Subject: Reproduce on etch and postfix 2.4.6-1

Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2007 21:31:04 +0100 (CET)

Hi,

unluckily I can reproduce this problem on a pretty unspoiled install
of etch with two versions of postfix (todays etch and  2.4.6-1).

I have a "german" version, but this happens also with LC_ALL="C". 
Access is through ssh on a virtual server. No matter if with readline, 
dialog or editor as debconf frontend. Furthermore, I can leave the 
process only when killed in another terminal. Then it gives:

/tmp/fileCWhhuJ.sh (sh)

Use of uninitialized value in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm line 132, <STDIN> line 154.
Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm line 133, <STDIN> line 154.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at 
/usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm line 134, <STDIN> line 154.
Use of uninitialized value in length at /var/lib/dpkg/info/postfix.config line 356, <STDIN> line 154.

I fixed it with importing a main.cf from another install.

Thanks,
Harald

Subject: Reproduce on lenny and postfix 2.5.5-1.1

stop

Hello

I can reproduce this bug even on Lenny and using "export LANG=C".

The variable $delim in the following block was logged as "OK" which
of course is longer than 1 char. I did not tried to debug exactly
why the wrong text (probably the name of the button I selected) ends
up in the variable.

        } else {
          my $delim = get("postfix/recipient_delim");
                syslog(LOG_INFO, "DEBUG delim=|$delim|");
          if (length($delim) > 1) {

Some version infos:

ii  debconf                   1.5.24                    Debian configuration management system
ii  libncurses5               5.7+20081213-1            shared libraries for terminal handling
ii  postfix                   2.5.5-1.1                 High-performance mail transport agent
ii  whiptail                  0.52.2-11.3               Displays user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts

bye,
