Package: mimedefang Version: 2.63-2 Severity: minor As I mentioned on debian-l10n-english while we were reviewing the debconf templates (see bug #461013), mimedefang's package dependencies seem a bit weak. Of course, not being a user of MIMEDefang I may be barking up the wrong tree, but I thought I'd better put this in the BTS anyway.
1) The debconf template mimedefang/embedperl asks the admin whether MIMEDefang should use the embedded Perl interpreter (defaulting to "true"), but there's no package dependency on eperl. Shouldn't there be at least a "Suggests: eperl"? It might even make sense for MIMEDefang to detect whether eperl's installed, and use it automatically if so. Or if there are reasons why an admin might want not to use an available embedded Perl interpreter for MIMEDefang, shouldn't these issues be referred to in the text of mimedefang/embedperl? 2) The package description says it's designed specifically for use with Sendmail (indeed it used to specify a minimum version), but the dependencies only make it a Recommends. Are there in fact other ways of using MIMEDefang that don't involve (locally installed) Sendmail, or should it be a Depends? -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.custom Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- JBR Ankh kak!
