Description Pedro Morales 2004-03-17 20:27:35 UTC

In the ebuild the sendmail interface /usr/sbin/sendmail is deleted, making commands such as mailq and newaliases totally useless.

This is not solved by mailwrapper, because the commands that should be called do not exist. (/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.type mailq


Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
output of mailq

Comment 1 Pedro Morales 2004-03-17 20:36:56 UTC

As I see mailwrapper has been made a dependency, and due to the configuratin file instaled (all commands have /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix as second member) I guess instead of a rm it should be a mv to that filename.

Grant, mind helping out?

Comment 3 Wim Uyttebroek 2004-03-18 02:11:16 UTC

changing the ebuild from:

 # Remove the /usr/sbin/sendmail symlink
rm ${D}/usr/sbin/sendmail

to 

 # Remove the /usr/sbin/sendmail symlink
mv ${D}/usr/sbin/sendmail ${D}/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix

doesn't work with me!!

Comment 4 Pedro Morales 2004-03-18 05:25:03 UTC

what do you mean by it does not work?

Remember that now you must configure that mailq is link to that in /etc/mailer.conf (I beleive the ebuild does taht for you).

Sorry about that.  I woke up this morning wondering if I had forgotten to
create sendmail.postfix.  Now fixed on CVS.  If you still have problems, 
please do let me know.
