I have a new installation of Ubuntu and I'm trying to install DKIM/Postfix on it using this guide here. I ran the command
apt-get install aptitude
but this gives me the following error
Job for opendkim.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status opendkim.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript opendkim, action "start" failed.

Which is more weird to me as I don't understand what does it mean authentication failed. What authentication is it talking about? I'm logged in as a root user and able to execute commands. Can someone share some insight on this? What am I doing wrong?
