Description Takashi Iwai 2006-01-19 14:01:48 UTC 
postfix doesn't start correctly with the latest kernel (2.6.15-gitx or 2.6.16-rc) because of the change in /proc/net/if_inet6.

A quick fix is below.

You can find the fixed packages in mbuild bari-tiwai-33.

Argh, the patch above isn't good.  Use the one below instead.

The /proc change has been reverted in mainline, so patching postfix
shouldn't be needed anymore.
Comment 8 Anders Norrbring 2006-01-21 08:13:55 UTC 
Doesn't work in beta1 either, the logs say:
Jan 21 09:05:13 luder postfix/postmap[8358]: warning: unexpected data in /proc/net/if_inet6 - skipping IPv6 configuration
