• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Newby 2011-03-17 17:43:22 UTC]

mail submitted with python script from cups mailto backend fails
trying to access /usr/lib/sendmail

worked with postfix-2.7.2

manually recreating symbolic link pointing to /usr/sbin/sendmail fixes

Reproducible: Always

1) Did you mean /usr/sbin/sendmail (which postfix does install) or /usr/libexec/sendmail (which it doesn't)?
2) What symbolic link is that?
3) What package using the sendmail binary has this problem with finding it?

I'm not the original reporter, but net-mail/cyrus-imapd is one package with problems, see:

I re-added the symlink to the versions in the tree.

It's probably a good idea to bump the revision of both ebuilds and keep the keywords as they are, otherwise everyone will need to re-emerge instead of upgrading.

Fixed in CVS.
