$ sed -ne '19,$p' </usr/share/doc/bincimap-run/README.Debian The bincimap-run package provides the virtual package ``imap-server'' and conflicts with other packages providing ``imap-server''. This ensures that bincimap is the only service that listens on the address 0.0.0.0:993 on a system, and also satisfies packages that depend on a running imap service. The bincimap package without the bincimap-run package can be installed alongside other imap-server packages on a system, e.g. to provide different imap or imaps services on different addresses simultaneously. -- Gerrit Pape <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Fri, 17 Oct 2003 07:45:52 +0000 $ Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
