Postfix fails to start with:

Mar 15 05:29:14 adularia postfix/master[9632]: fatal: 0.0.0.0:smtp: Servname
not supported for ai_socktype
Mar 15 05:29:15 adularia postfix/master[9631]: fatal: daemon initialization
failure

This is due to missing /etc/services:

# ls -al /etc/services
ls: cannot access '/etc/services': No such file or directory
# ls -al /usr/etc/services
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 868252 Feb  6 12:16 /usr/etc/services

Which was moved to /usr as part of
https://kubic.opensuse.org/blog/2019-12-05-usr-etc/

Host: Tumbleweed Server
openSUSE-release-20200312-486.1.x86_64


The following workaround is viable:

ln -s /usr/etc/services /etc/services
