Description:   Opened: 2005-07-16 11:21 0000 
mail-mta/courier comes with its own version of maildrop. This is overwritten by
the mail-
filter/maildrop and could cause courier to stop working. Therefore I think that
mail-filter/
maildrop should check for mail-mta/courier before installing.

Reproducible: Always

Does it come from the same source-package? if so, courier should not install
that file, but use maildrop instead.

If not, yes, they should conflict (sandbox violation)

I am not sure what you mean. If you mean they use the same source files, then no:

maildrop-1.8.0.tar.bz2: 2 013 203 bytres
courier-0.48.1.tar.bz2: 5 875 035 bytes

I did test to install maildrop. It broke courier (it could not deliver through the new 
maildrop). Possible explaination is that the new maildrop uses different config files than 
couriers' maildrop.

You said courier should not install that file. Yes, if it was the same
maildrop, then would 
it not be better to have a dependency on maildrop?

mail-mta/courier uses an internal copy of maildrop which isn't exactly the same
as the released version of maildrop. I can add a blocker in courier for
maildrop, but I think maildrop should do the same just to be safe.

------- Comment #5 From Fernando J. Pereda 2005-07-29 09:12:17 0000 ------- 
It's probably better to move courier's maildrop away so both won't collide.
Anyway... I don't mind blocking courier from maildrop.

Cheers,
Ferdy

Ok, blocked courier from maildrop in maildrop-1.8.1-r1.ebuild

Cheers,
Ferdy
