postfix-3.0.0-3 doesn't start

After upgrade, postfix-3.0.0-3 doesn't start.

output of journalctl -xe:

Mär 26 22:58:27 arch64-d.xxx.de systemd[1]: Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent...
-- Subject: Unit postfix.service has begun with start-up

-- Unit postfix.service has begun starting up.
Mär 26 22:58:27 arch64-d.xxx.de postfix[1952]: Postfix is running with backwards-compatible default settings
Mär 26 22:58:27 arch64-d.xxx.de postfix[1952]: See http://www.postfix.org/COMPATIBILITY_README.html for details
Mär 26 22:58:27 arch64-d.xxx.de postfix[1952]: To disable backwards compatibility use "postconf compatibility_level=2"
Mär 26 22:58:27 arch64-d.xxx.de postfix[1952]: fatal: /usr/lib/postfix/postfix-script: No such file or directory

Yes, the file is missing.
Anyone else with this issue?
I filed a bug report:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44360

Downgrading helps.

Re: postfix-3.0.0-3 doesn't start

I am getting the same thing, seems the update moved /usr/lib/postfix/postfix-script to usr/lib/postfix/bin/postfix-script

Downgrading fixes it, but its not a "fix"

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44354 is the bug report but its closed, "works for me" is the reason.

As the comment states we need to update our config files.
Since there is a new config file, makes sense, and as usual for me I requested repoen like an idiot. Sigh.

update your main.cf in /etc/postfix/ there will be a pacnew.

What you want to do is change daemon_directory from usr/lib/postfix to usr/lib/postfix/bin this will fix it.

This also worked for me.
