I do not know how else to troubleshoot since these pointyhat errors are not - AFAIK - reproducible by others, on either i386 or amd64 platforms.

Hi all,

The install is failing during a call to $wrksrc/conf/post-install.

Taken from the pointyhat logs :

./postconf -d) |egrep -v '^(myhostname|mydomain|mynetworks) ' 
 >../../conf/main.cf.default
./postconf: fatal: socket: Protocol not supported

Postconf is dying with a fatal socket error. This binary is used in 
various places, including $wrksrc/conf/post-install.

There are various tests in this post-install script that will exit with 
1 should executing postconf fail for any reason.

Therefore, fixing the reason for postconf throwing a fatal error will 
fix the build/install.

What networking/DNS configuration is Pointyhat lacking (or have 
sufficiently different to break the socket code inside of postconf)?

Regards,

Jase Thew.
