It seems the final echo is executed, but then the function doesn't exit
for some reason. I tried rewriting it using case, which looks cleaner to
me but fails in the same way.


function post_pkg_postinst() {
	set +x
	case "$CATEGORY/$PN" in
		"net-mail/dovecot")
			/etc/init.d/dovecot status && /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
			echo 'going to sleep'
			sleep 5
			echo 'finished sleeping'
			;;
			
		"mail-mta/postfix")
			/etc/init.d/postfix status && /etc/init.d/postfix restart
			;;
		esac
}
