Bug Description

Binary package hint: postgrey

syslog:
Aug 16 13:09:02 Rie postgrey[30290]: Couldn't unlink "/var/run/postgrey.pid" [Permission denied]

Seems like postgrey in lucid is dropping root privs too early. /var/run/ has 755 permissions.

This was fixed in Debian in 1.34-1.3 so xenial and later should not be affected.
