I think i broke postfix by updating it.

[DerrickH]

So on the suggestion of a parrelells support rep, i tried to install an updated version of postfix.

it failed citing some dependencies. fine, or so i thought, now i get:

ERROR: mail_Exception_ManagerExecution

Up Level
mailmng failed: Fatal error: plesk::mail:ostfix:ostfixConfigurationError(/usr/sbin/postconf: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
)

mail_Manager->callMailMngWithException(string 'get-max-letter-size')

mail_AbstractFacade->getMaxLetterSize()
4: mail.php3:219
require(string '/opt/psa/admin/htdocs/server/mail.php3')
5: plesk.php:58

when i try and enter the mail server settings area in the panel.

also for some reason apt-get install -f wants to uninstall a buttload of plesk:

this is what i got when i tried to install:

Installing package(s) with command apt-get -y --force-yes -f install postfix ..

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of postfix:
postfix depends on libdb5.1; however:
Package libdb5.1 is not installed.
postfix depends on libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0); however:
Package libssl1.0.0 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

postfix is already the newest version.
postfix set to manually installed.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postfix: Depends: libdb5.1 but it is not installable
Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
postfix-pcre: Depends: postfix (= 2.7.0-1) but 2.8.3-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

it actually appears that postfix is no longer installed, i no longer see it in the package list. but it wont install either. what do i do now?

tried to see what aptitude could do for downgrading:

I really should not uninstall php5, my customers would have broken sites then too.

any suggestions?

Question

Was this the update provided by Parallels? or its on your own?

Because I just found that there is an update that includes Postfix updates...

 

[DerrickH]

On my own. We ended up doing that aptitude suggested and reinstalled php5 after. working now.

so dont upgrade postfix to 2.8, **** breaks.
