Description:
After installing postfix 3.0.0-2 from scratch, postmulti seems to be broken, setting `shlib_directory = no` in main.cf fixes the issue.

>> postmulti: fatal: instance /etc/postfix, shlib_directory=/usr/lib/postfix conflicts with instance /etc/postfix, daemon_directory=/usr/lib/postfix

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S postfix
postmulti -l
This task depends upon

I do not see why postmulti should require shlib_directory to be disabled. Besides, we ship upstream's default main.cf. Could you report this strange behavior upstream?

Here's the discussion with postfix devs which finally boils down to filesystem philosophy:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mailing.postfix.users/_vJ2boJ6BbM/discussion

They specify a patch, which works, but probably won't be implemented.

Therefore i would suggest to simply set shlib_directory=/usr/lib/postfix/lib for our package.

I see. Thanks for the report. I'll probably make DEF_DAEMON_DIR=/usr/lib/postfix/bin rather than move DEF_DATA_DIR.

Please check postfix-3.0.0-3 from [testing] carefully; it brings significant changes.

I will move postfix-3.0.0-3 to [extra] in the next 24 hours if nobody has anything to say about it.
