Bug Description
Binary package hint: postfix
Hi guys!
This is what console said:
Running newaliases
postalias: fatal: open database /etc/aliases.db: Permission denied
dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Errors were encountered while processing:
postfix
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Baiscly no harm done there except does it really have to crash because of this?

Hi firebird, thanks for taking the time to report this as a bug and help us make Ubuntu better.
This one is very confusing. Since all of this runs as root, there should have been no permission denied on file access. Did you have /etc mounted readonly, or maybe some hardening on the system, like immutable files on /etc, that might have layered on top of the normal permissions?
Marking Incomplete, firebird, please respond to the above at your earliest convenience so I can reopen the bug. Thanks!
