Was something changed in Postfix defaults?
After upgrade from postfix-2.5.6,1 to postfix-2.6.1,1 and restart of
postfix, I got following error in /var/log/maillog
fatal: open database /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory
All previous versions were using /etc/aliases.db, new version expect
/etc/mail/aliases.db
newaliases command re-generate aliases.db in the new location.

If this is expected behavior, this should be mentioned in UPDATING.
