  Hello! Is this a fresh/clean server? It looks like the server is trying to install packages cPanel doesn't use, such as "Postfix" which is causing issues.

  No, it's not a fresh server! We have installed LAMP stack and postfix, dovecot etc. What should we do now!

  Your only choice would unfortunately be to re-image the server or have a new one created/spun-up and then attempt the cPanel installation from scratch.
