package postfix (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: exit status 1 - Use of uninitialized value $ret in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm line 132

I can confirm this.

confirmed by duplicates.
adding a postfix task since the 3 reports occurred during a postfix installation and not with another package.

What's the hostname of your system?

You can find out by running the following commands from a terminal:

 hostname

And

 hostname -f

As there haven't been any duplicates since February, 2010, 2 years now, I am closing this as Invalid in postfix. I believe the debconf task is valid, but low priority.

sorry man my901 eee netbook had alot systems on it [yer i all so pull it
apart!] it kinda works keybord fff 4gig sda/16gigsda+16gigsd card 1 system
