Comment 14 for bug 1027061

As you can read in the first posting, I simply installed it with puppet. Doesn't seem like such a rare scenario to me. I think any company with a substantial amount of servers should be using some form of configuration management. I think any completely non-interactive installation method will end up in that configuration.

And how can it not be a supported configuration? Puppet only calls aptitude, so the system gets itself in that configuration. Assuming some value, file, etc is present is bad practice in any situation. Is deleting main.cf also "unsupported"?

This has nothing to do with supported or not, but with a script that is not robust enough.
