Hi Ankebut,

you could try:
Code:
mkdir -p /root/backup-dpkg

mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/postfix.* /root/backup-dpkg/

apt-get -f install

Afterwards, pls, update/upgrade the rest of your software packages:
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 8 not upgraded.
... with the command:
Code:
aptitude upgrade


Pls. note the following informations:

"psa-qmail-rblsmtpd" is one of the Plesk - qmail packages ( "psa-qmail" is the other one ), while the package "plesk-mail-pc-driver" is the corresponding Plesk - postfix - package, which should be installed, when you use postfix on your server.
You somehow messed up your packages on your server and I therefore recommend the following commands AFTER you solved the above mentioned issue.

Recommended commands:

Code:
plesk installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --install-component qmail

plesk installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base

plesk repair mail -y -v
 
hi UFHH01

having had the same worries as the author of the post I allow myself to answer following your answer when I type the command


plesk repair mail -y -v

I get the following error

Hi lesny,

==> Checking for: mail_drweb_restore... fail
This error might appear, if you don't actually use DrWeb on your server.
If you still experience issues/errors/problems as described ( IF you have DrWeb installed on your server! ), pls. consider to open a new thread with YOUR issues/errors/problems for further investigations, as @Ankebut 's thread has been marked as solved by now with the above suggestions. :)
