Due to a requirement for sqlite support in cyrus-sasl, I installed that from
source, and then installed the postfix binary using apt-get:

How did you build cyrus-sasl?  This looks like an error in that build...

Something like this should be what you did...:
 dpkg-source -x cyrus-sasl_${version}.dsc;
 cd cyrus-sasl-${upstreamversion};
 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -b

Subject: Re: Building custom apps vs deb packages ...

I built cyrus-sasl from source code, since I need SQLite support, but not
mysql/pgsql ... so, I try 'apt-get install postfix', since I figure that
mysql/pgsql won't hurt there, and I don't need any other features that really
require me to build it custom ... but, apt-get comes back with:

Given Aurelien just rebuilded and uploaded postfix_2.3.7-3+kbsd,
please do "apt-get update" against ftp.gnuab.org now.
Previously have been postfix_2.2.8-9+kbsd uninstallable.

In fact, you have now two options.

a) Use .deb for all packages, including cyrus-sasl.
Just try again
"apt-get install libsasl2-modules-sql postfix".
It should work now.

b) still use own cyrus-sasl 2.3

I do not know whether libsasl2 from 2.3 is ABI compatible with 2.2.
If it is ABI compatible, it would be sufficient to just create .deb from
cyrus-sasl 2.3 or use "equivs" package to satisfy dependencies.

If it is ABI incompatible, but API compatible, you have
to rebuild postfix against your version of libsasl2 in any case.
