Hi,

Many thanks for your input. I think I know what's happened. It seems bsd-mailx was installed before old mailx package upgrade. Installation of bsd-mailx changed /usr/bin/mail into a symlink, but the subsequent mailx upgrade removed the file (since it existed in old version of mailx, but not in the new one).

I'll fix the bug in next upload. For now please reinstall bsd-mailx (apt-get install --reinstall bsd-mailx) to recreate the missing symlinks.

Best Regards,
robert
