It's not, it's just warning you of problems - dpkg is working fine ;)
here is what the people on IRC suggested, all of which
worked to no
avail:
-Change to official repos (rather than the bitfolk ones)
That's pointless and costs you bandwidth (imho).
-apt-get remove postfix, apt-get clean, apt-get
update, apt-get
install postfix (All of which worked to no avail)
You probably wanted to "apt-get purge postfix" as that first step, as it
sounds like you're missing files which postfix is expecting. Try a purge
and then an install (clean and update are a bit beside the point).
And finally:
$ dpkg --contents /var/cache/apt/archives/postfix_2.7.0-1_i386.deb
dpkg-deb: failed to read archive
`/var/cache/apt/archives/postfix_2.7.0-1_i386.deb': No such file or
directory
That obviously fails because the deb doesn't exist. I'm not sure why
that command would be particularly insightful with your problem tho.
Cheers
Alex.
