Title: [SOLVED] Upgrade from 5.1 - dpkg fails
Post by: Giblet535 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.
