Harald, what is the output of
systemctl stats postfix.service
postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/postfix.service
I think you are still hit by the bug, because the fix Peter did was only for people migrating from 11.4 to 12.1 after the fix was released.
In your case, to force migration back, try rm /var/lib/systemd/migrated/postfix and zypper in --force postfix
after "in --force postfix" I still see postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/postfix.service and reboot with systemd does not start postfix. likely that's only because of the explicit "disable postfix.service" before ?! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
