Bug Description

Every time I install or uninstall some package in the end it gives an error saying installation (or removal of packages) failed. Fortunately, the package does get installed. Also, in between while installing, a window titled debconf (or debconfig perhaps) opens and closes many times (I can never see the contents in the window as it closes very fast, all I can see is the title 'debconf').

Not a package bug.

file or directory The value of variable $myhostname is "pushpak", but should have been a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such. You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's network name!
