Source: mimedefang Version: 2.84-4 Tags: patch User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: cross-satisfiability
mimedefang cannot be cross built from source, because its Build-Depends are not satisfiable. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked into easily droppable dependencies. It turns out that the sanitizer dependency is entirely unused. There is no mention of it or its contained modules or tools in the entire source. libunix-syslog-perl is used to provide Unix::Syslog, which can be used by mimedefang if Sys::Syslog is not available. The latter is part of perl itself, so the former is unused. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
