Package: apticron

Justification: renders package unusable

apticron's mail notification fails:

debian:~# LANG=C apticron

   ) 2>&1 | /usr/bin/mailx -a "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" -s

I guess this issues has been fixed since 1.32:

apticron (1.1.32) unstable; urgency=low

   * Use specific mailx parameters for heirloom-mailx. Thanks to Nis Martensen
     for the patch. (Closes: #530347)
   * debian/control:
     + remove inactive uploaders.
     + remove heirloom-mailx from Conflicts due to the fix in #530347.
   * Support listing packages on hold by both dselect/apt-get and aptitude. This
     can be chosen through the new config var NOTIFY_HOLDS. Thanks to Daniel B.
     for reporting this. (Closes: #530655)

Please consider:

- updating apticron from testing; or
- using a backported version; or
- using another mta; or
- fixing yourself the script based on 1.32 fix

I'm closing this bug.
