Bug Description

I had configured Postfix to have "no configuration." After I installed DNSMasq, and disabled dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, and started the service, there were errors reported because of Postfix not having any configuration:

/usr/sbin/postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
cp: `/etc/resolv.conf' and `/etc/resolv.conf' are the same file
run-parts: /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/postfix exited with return code 1
run-parts: /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc exited with return code 1
 * Restarting DNS forwarder and DHCP server dnsmasq [ OK ]
/usr/sbin/postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory

After reconfiguring postfix for "Local Only," the problem went away. I think it should gracefully ignore, if it can't find a postfix configuration.

Please try the updated package in the precise-proposed repository. See Bug #980682 for details. Although it was based on a slightly different bug, I think it would fix this one too.
