Package: exim4-base Version: 4.62-3 Severity: important Tags: patch User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: incorrect-dependency
While testing dependency based boot sequencing, I ran into a problem with the exim package. Its init.d script provide the same name as the postfix package, and this generate a name conflict that make it impossible to install exim4-base when switching from postfix to exim4. The solution is to drop the incorrect provide mail-transport-agent from the LSB header. I've asked the postfix maintainer to do the same, as the scripts really only should provide the name of their script. While looking at the header, I discovered a redundant dependency on $local_fs which is not needed when remote_fs is also listed. I recommend to remove it. I'm setting severity to important as this issue make it impossible to install exim4-base after postfix when dependency based boot sequencing is enabled.
