> But I think dropping the Provides: from lsb-invalid-mta would. Ah, I see. Hm. I do think that the behavior a user most likely expects, when installing lsb-core, is to pull in a functional MTA. In other words, I think it's fine to provide a way for a sysadmin to select to not configure an MTA, but I do think that installing lsb-core should result in configuring an MTA by default. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
