These are just warnings and are harmless - it's just the way Wietse
(Postfix's author) uses comments in the code.

The problem isn't with Postfix itself, just part of the specfile that
uses "ed" to manipulate the "postfix-files" file (which contains the
file list + ownership and permissions for Postfix core files, used in
turn by the "postfix check" command) to suit Fedora's alternatives
setup. It seems the version of ed supplied in FC6 updates ( 0.3, not the
original ed 0.2 package in core)

I worked around this by forcing "ed = 0.2" in the spec file's
BuildRequires line and rebuilt. Someone with better knowledge of ed's
internals or usage may have a better fix, but if you're reading this
message it works ;-)

No problem :-)
