Debian Buster

[Kevin Miller]

A quick follow-up for those who have upgraded to Buster or will soon; If you're using postgrey, I  noticed that reloading it failed.  The fix was found here:  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934068

The same issue also plagues opther applications such as exim.

I also noticed that when logwatch is updated, the /usr/share/logwtch/default.conf/ignore.conf file is overwritten w/o warning, so a lot of log entries I usually ignore were suddenly again present in the daily log summary.  An easy fix.

sa-compile also would ab-end.  The solution is to remove it with apt, do a purge, the reinstall.  
  apt-get remove sa-compile
  apt-get purge sa-compile
  apt-get install sa-compile

And if you're using MailWatch in conjunction with MailScanner, I had to re-install a some modules from cpan:
  cpan -i DBD::mysql
  cpan -i Encoding::FixLatin
  cpan -i Digest::SHA1

After fixing the php7.0 issue mentioned in the previous post, run
  a2enmod php7.3
 
I think that's the crux of the issue I encountered.  Hope this helps others.  If you're not using Debian, I apologize for the OT noise...

I upgraded my test box to Buster from Stretch.  It does work but there were a few things that went bump in the process.  For instance, php is upgraded so the links in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled broke (only an issue if you're running MailWatch on top of MailScanner).
Stretch:
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 11  2018 php7.0.conf -> ../mods-available/php7.0.conf                                                                                   
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 11  2018 php7.0.load -> ../mods-available/php7.0.load

Buster:
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jul 11 08:54 php7.3.conf -> ../mods-available/php7.3.conf
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jul 11 08:54 php7.3.load -> ../mods-available/php7.3.load  

An easy fix but it took me a while to figure out what the trouble was.

Had a couple of other issues that were puzzlers too, but again easy fixes after I tracked them down.  Can't recall what all the problems were now or if they were MailScanner issues or more MailWatch issues.  Looking back at the history file on my test box, I see I had to fiddle with opendmarc after upgrading.  Debian seems to screw up the opendmarc start script:
  Edit /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/opendmarc.service
  Change the line below:
    ExecStart=/usr/sbin/opendmarc
  To:
    ExecStart=/usr/sbin/opendmarc -p $SOCKET -c /etc/opendmarc.conf  -u opendmarc -P /var/run/opendmarc/opendmarc.pid

Also had to fiddle with sa-compile to get it working again.  Not an show stopper but better performance if it's enabled.

Not sure what other issues I had.  

As Shawn says, give it a go on a test box first if you have one unless you can live w/o email for a few hours.

Best of luck...
