Description Surakshan Mendis 2006-03-04 23:05:16 UTC

app-backup/sarab ebuild has a dep on mail-client/mailx

However I do not use mailx, I use mail-client/nail (which blocks mailx).
From Sarab's scope mailx and nail do the exact same thing.

Suggest changing mail-client/mailx line in ebuild to virtual/mailx
That way mailx is whats installed if there is no mailer but portage will not complain if nail or similiar is already installed.

Thanks for the bug report.  I updated the ebuild to use virtual/mailx
