Installation on Ubuntu 10.04 with reiser file system fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Ubuntu basic server using reiser instead of default ext4
2. Install iRedMail 0.6.1
3. Follow installation per online docs @
http://code.google.com/p/iredmail/wiki/Installation_on_Ubuntu
I chose mysql backend

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Installation script fails during installation/configuration of postfix-policyd

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
iRedMail 0.6.1 (Aug 14, 2010)
Ubuntu 10.04 server.  Base install + SSH + updates to current

Please provide any additional information below.
After several attempts I installed the product in a VM using the minimum VM 
installation and it seemed to work OK.  I noticed that the default file system 
was using ext4 whereas the system I had been using was formatted as reiser.  I 
wiped the existing system and allowed it to use ext4 and things seem to work 
OK, at least thus far.  

I did however notice there are several discrepancies between screens shown in 
the docs and the actually screens.  In particular the Squirrelmail option 
doesn't show up, at least with mysql.  I had intended to install both SQ and RC 
for webmail since SQ can run without Java.

Now to finish testing to see that everything works as expected. :)

Thanks guys.

Sorry, it got wiped when I did the new install.  I was actually surprised to 
see that as an issue but I had repeated the process at least half a dozen times 
and that was the only change on the last iteration.

I'll see if I can reproduce it in a VM, but it may be a few days before I have 
a chance to try it.

Well, the good news is it works.  The bad news is it works.  :(  Looks like 
there's something more than just the file system difference to the problem.  
Since it's working on that hardware with the ext4 installation I'm really not 
interested in wiping it again to try and reproduce the failure.  For reference 
in case you're interested the failing system is (was) an ASUS A7V600-X with a 
TBird running at 1500, 1GB ram, 2 40GB Seagate IDE drives in a software raid 1.

Thanks for your feedback.

Normally, installing binary package is independ on File System (ext3, ext4, 
reiserfs), so i guess it must be a OS-level issue.
