Subject: snoopy: Snoopy incompatible with nullmailer
Package: snoopy
Version: 1.3-13
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Snoopy seems to be incompatible with the nullmailer package.
When running nullmailer in daemon mode, it normally uses fd 4 for socket
communication. With snoopy installed, nullmailer uses fd 0. fd 0 is
normally used to read the mail to deliver, and this collision seem to
cause problems. However, running /usr/sbin/nullmailer-send works fine.

This can be debugged by running
strace -f /usr/sbin/nullmailer-send -d
compared to
strace -f /usr/sbin/nullmailer-send

If this can not be fixed, I suggest the postinst do a check for an
installed nullmailer package and issue a warning if so.

Regards,
 Stefan
