[GF-Users] Postfix upgrade

[Luca vom Bruch]

I got this after the upgrade:

postfix[863514]: /usr/libexec/postfix/postfix-script: line 78: cd:
/usr/lib64/postfix: No such file or directory
postfix[863515]: postfix/postlog: fatal: no Postfix shared-library directory
/usr/lib64/postfix!
postfix/postfix-script[863515]: fatal: no Postfix shared-library directory
/usr/lib64/postfix!
systemd[1]: postfix.service: Control process exited, code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE

I copied the contents of /usr/lib/postfix to /usr/lib64/postfix and now it
starts

I am unsure, why did /usr/lib64 not have a postfix folder? 

Can I fix it more elegantly with symlink? What would be the correct symlink
command?

You can or you can replace the packages using dnf shell as per the
instructions above.

Yes.

No, you need to use the instructions in the linked page above.
