Oh, me too. It is always bad in production and even outside. I use a
quite special postfix configuration, and while the system in general
would work, my users found breakage. So did I. Until I telnet to port

doesn't know if you want to de-install or upgrade. It would be great if
it could, and spew out much less of useless (? sometimes) messages.
