postfix installs directory /var/spool/mail which conflicts with package
shadow.
| Error: Transaction check error:
| file /var/spool/mail conflicts between attempted installs of
| postfix-3.1.1-r0.ppc64e6500 and shadow-4.2.1-r0.1.ppc64e6500
Make postfix not create /var/spool/mail that it does NOT create the
directory on Fedora and Ubuntu either.

I am not sure this is correct.
The two packages have (according to DNF/RPM) different permissions, owner or
group assigned to that particular directory.
I think it's reasonable for both of the packages to create the directory,
however they must match in perms/owner/group. I would defer to shadow as the
correct source for this information.
It may be necessary though to change shadow's default to something more
reasonable if 'root:root' is not right.

Do you mean use to update-alternative to keep them both?

I checked on both Fedora and Ubuntu that /var/spool/mail is set with
'root:mail'. I will update it in recipe shadow.
And it also set with 'setgid' on Ubuntu, do we need 'setgid' too?
Thanks.
