Hello there ,
I was checking for updates today and found that the following packages needs update :

  apport base-files bind9-host bsdutils ca-certificates dnsutils e2fslibs
  e2fsprogs libapache2-mod-php5 libbind9-90 libblkid1 libc-bin libc-dev-bin
  libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i386 libcgmanager0 libcomerr2 libcups2 libdns100
  libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau2 libdrm-radeon1 libdrm2 libfreetype6
  libgudev-1.0-0 libisc95 libisccc90 libisccfg90 liblwres90 libmount1 libnss3
  libnss3-nssdb libpam-systemd libss2 libsystemd-daemon0 libsystemd-login0
  libudev1 libuuid1 linux-libc-dev mount multiarch-support nginx-common
  nginx-full php-pear php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-curl php5-fpm php5-gd
  php5-ldap php5-mysql php5-readline postfix postfix-ldap postfix-pcre
  python3-apport python3-distupgrade python3-problem-report systemd-services

  uuid-runtime x11-common xorg xserver-common xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core
  xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-video-all

would that harm the iredmail installation ??

thanks for your support.

Re: OS platform update

Updates such as those will not harm iRedMail, only updates that potentially can is Dovecot1 to Dovecot2 [major package update]

so the postfix update and nginx won't harm the iredmail ? .

Re: OS platform update

They'll both be minor, and I've done the nginx one myself, don't recall the postfix one but it'll be a minor one so nothing should happen

Re: OS platform update

Usually, it's ok to update binary packages with package management tool like yum/apt-get/... (and this is the important point why iRedMail installs packages from software repositories provided by Linux/BSD vendor instead of building our own repositories).

If some software doesn't provide backward-compatible settings, it will become an issue. but as far as i know, Debian/Ubuntu package maintainers handle this quite well, so it's safe to update packages with 'apt-get'.
