Unknown (maildrop) error

[primal23]

For mine, I added sudo echo “maildrop hold” | dpkg --set-selections
this plus the hold has made it so it cant be updated and ISPconfig sees it as 1 not to be updated.

and ISPconfig sees it as 1 not to be updated.

As I posted already, ispconfig is not updating anything. What you see in the ispconfig monitor is the output of apt of possibel updates that are available for download on the ubuntu servers, it is not something that will get updated or even installed.

So your solution goes into the wrong direction. Instead of running a cronjob that holds the package, you should find the software or cronjob that is actually installing it automatically and disable this software. One candidate for this is apt-cron, so check if apt-cron is installed and uninstall it. If you use a desktop system, check also the desktop package installer and applets.

Yeah, I meant to say that when you go to the show update state in the admin console, it shows that under not upgraded. I just like keeping the status in the green.

Ok I thought this was working but it's still changing to the one that doesn't work.
Everyday i have to run the aptitude command and postfix flush.
Seems to just keep updating to the crappy maildrop lenny

HELP

[jamesloker]

Ok never mind. I have updated to 9.10 using do-release-upgrade

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 the authentication error is gone.
Thx Till for pointing at this.

Hi,

I'm still having to go in and downgrade daily. I can't find a cron job that is upgrading the maildrop, I've set the maildrop package to to hold and I also set: “maildrop hold” | dpkg --set-selections, but it keeps getting downloaded every night. apt-cron is not installed and I can't identify any cron jobs besides ispconfigs daily php jobs that may running the update.

I would like to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 to clear the issue, what is the standard process, and what do I risk breaking with ispconfig.

Did anyone have any problems upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10?

Thanks,

Hi there,
I did an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, nothing broke except for the http Own Error docs.
Apache says:

The requested URL /xyxyxy was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Don't know what causes this, busy investigating

[troggie_0092]

Sorry, I wasn't looking properly for this fix.

Otherwise everything else is working and so is maildrop.
Fully upgraded
