Man, what method did you use to install Postfix? From a distribution
package? From source code? Manually copied over? I ask because you
are running into problems that shouldn't occur in a normal installation.
Perhaps you copied over old config files ?

The "post-install" script works based on parameters set in your
main.cf configuration file.

That error about documentation is based on the directory location
of the README files, as defined by the main.cf configuration
parameter: readme_directory

Here's a list all the configurations it uses:


daemon_directory
command_directory
queue_directory
mail_owner
setgid_group
sendmail_path
mailq_path
newaliases_path
html_directory
manpage_directory
sample_directory
readme_directory


In main.cf, just set "readme_directory" to the location of your
system's Postfix README directory, or if you don't have one:

readme_directory=""
