Package: changetrack Version: 4.3-2 Severity: normal
changetrack uses the module Mail::Sendmail to send its email report. Unfortunately, that module is quite stupid: it assumes there is a port 25 listener and doesn't know how to simply execute /usr/sbin/sendmail. I believe the original purpose of Mail::Sendmail was portability, as some well known OSes (cough) have nothing like /usr/sbin/sendmail. On a Unix system, assuming a port 25 listener is the Wrong Thing (TM): I might be running a server on a different port, or none at all if I get all my mail by POP/IMAP. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-8custom1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages changetrack depends on: ii libfile-ncopy-perl 0.34-1 file copying like cp for perl ii libmail-sendmail-perl 0.79-4 Send email from a perl script ii perl 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages changetrack recommends: ii cron 3.0pl1-94 management of regular background p ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii rcs 5.7-18 The GNU Revision Control System -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
