[SOLVED] Upgrade from 5.1 - dpkg fails
« on: December 06, 2019, 02:11:26 pm »
I upgraded from 5.1, which upgrades Ubuntu to 18.04LTS.

dpkg fails with:
Code: [Select]
...
fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified.
...

This causes all of the Zentyal mail packages to fail to configure. The upgrade is stuck at around 98% completion...

I don't use any fetches from other mail servers, and probably never will, so of course no mailservers are configured!

How can I get around this?

I set up a temporary /etc/fetchmailrc to poll the Zentyal server.

That allowed
Code: [Select]
dpkg --configure fetchmailto succeed, so the the remainder of the upgrade can continue.
