I haven't tried to disable IPv6 for some time. If you tell me with
which parameters you were trying to build the rpm and on which version
of RH I'll try and replicate the problem you are experiencing.

If the rpm build failed then the rpm would not have been produced. I
assume that you were upgrading this rpm over the top of some other
rpm. It would be interesting to see which version. This is shown in
/var/log/maillog.

I have just tried to build the rpm on RHEL4 with the vda, SASL v2
patches and with IPv6 support disabled. This builds fine on my server.
The only difference I see is that you are using the x86_64
architecture which I don't have access to (at home). However I have built
my rpms on this architecture before and have not previously received reports
of breakages similar to those you are reporting.

In that case something is seriously broken. My rpms do not store configuration
files in /usr/etc/postfix.

This is controlled in various places where the directory used is specified as:
%{_sysconfdir}/postfix. Changed the rpm _system_ macros such as %_sysconfdir
is not supported and I don't think you should have a reason to do so.

I'd suggest you remove the installed postfix instance(s)
completely. Or you check exactly which version(s) you have
installed. (rpm -qa postfix, and maybe LANG=C rpm -qi postfix) Have
you manually installed TLS/SASL and other libraries on your system?
This might also break the rpm build procedure which would not
recognise this situation.

Without clearer information I don't know what to suggest.

Regards,

Simon

p.s. If you want to take this off list I'll try and help you
there. The problem doesn't sound like a general postfix problem.
