each time after sudo apt-get install process this little failure-message?

Question

here is sudo apt-get install ending now with:

Trigger for initramfs-tools are processing ...

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-19-generic

... then here comes this:

failure while processing:

postfix

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

what shall I do to iron this in 12.10 ?

First try running the following command:

sudo apt-get remove --purge postfix

This will completely uninstall the postfix package. If this does not fix your problem, try running the following commands:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

These commands will attempt to fix any broken packages on your system.
