FWIW, I got caught by this recently.  I have samba423 installed and it seems my postfix-sasl package got uninstalled because of the fallout with the lmdb changes.

As a workaround, I rebuilt postfix-sasl with the LMDB option unset.  (I'm not knowingly using LMDB in my Postfix setup.)  That allowed me to install both postfix-sasl and samba423.
