Bug Description
When using "dpkg-reconfigure postfix" and setting where to send root's mail, it does not get set.
Steps to reproduce:
- Install ubuntu 14.04
- apt-get install postfix
- dpkg-reconfigure postfix
- satellite system configuration
- default mailname
- configured a valid smtp server on port 587
- chose a valid internet email address for root's mail
- defaults for everything else
Result:
Package configures successfully but there is no alias for root.
root@dedge-
# See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster: root
Expected result:
Package configures successfully and sets root alias.
Encountered on two different servers set up the same way.
