Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with `apk add postfix` followed by `/usr/sbin/postfix start`, and use the reported `SIOCGIFCONF` error as the entry point. Done means Postfix starts successfully without this fatal error; the issue does not name a source file or test to guide further investigation.
