### Describe your issue
Hello!
I tried to upgrade Pixelfed to the new version today but I have the following error:

Should I do anything from my side?
Thanks for your help!

I tried a second time but I still have the same problem. Do other Pixelfed admins are facing the same situation?

It’s not related to pixelfed per se, but to the postfix conf
Can you share what happens when you run `sudo postmap /etc/postfix/app_senders_login_maps` ?

What yunohost version do you have?
Anything interesting in the diagnosis?

Thanks for the suggestion, I run your command, I had this result:
root@hhh: /etc/postfix# sudo postmap app\_senders\_login\_maps
BDB0002 \_\_fop\_file\_setup: Retry limit (100) exceeded
postmap: fatal: open database app\_senders\_login\_maps.db: File exists
So I had to delete the existing file (0 bytes) and rerun your command, and then I could finally upgrade Pixelfed. Thanks for your help!

I tried that but it doesn’t recreate the file ☹
Any idea ? 🙏

By the way:
`Warning: Failed to update system_user : Error when changing permissions for /etc/postfix/app_senders_login_maps.db: \[Errno 2\] No such file or directory: '/etc/postfix/app_senders_logi n_maps.db' `
But there is a `app_senders_login_maps` file, without the `.db` extension.

I have deleted the `app_senders_login_maps` file, restarted postfix and then it worked without complaints. Not sure if you should delete the file in your setup, in my case it was empty, but still causing issues.

Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Was it recreated then ?

yes, it wasn’t present immediately after the restart but now is there and it has some content, so looks like it’s working 🙂

For me there was a `__db.app_senders_login_maps.db` file and I had to rename/delete that for the file to be generated properly.
