Monit template for postfix has wrong path

[Oliver Mueller]

The monit template for postfix in /etc/monit/conf-available/postfix is not up-to-date anymore.

it checks for the master file as follows:

 check file master_bin with path /usr/lib/postfix/master
   group postfix
   include /etc/monit/templates/rootbin

the problem is, that the master file moved to "/usr/lib/postfix/sbin/master".

The wrong path leads to

Process 'postfix' Initializing - start pending
File 'master_bin' Does not exist

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is still an issue with Ubuntu 18.04. This is fairly old but ironically postfix kept crashing, on my system, with a signal 15. Until I repaired this monit wouldn't restart it, and as a result emails weren't being sent. Now after I fixed it (thanks for the workaround) everything is fine!

Can we have this repaired in a future release of Ubuntu
