I don't think a missing manual page is a serious bug. > Which section of the manual do you think sendmail belongs in?

I’d personally go with > sendmail(8) to file fewer bugs (it’s the traditional choice, too). /usr/sbin/sendmail is, most importantly, a command line API for sending e-mail, which user agents and other software can and do use. For this role, I think section 1 is most appropriate, and section 8 is also fine. /usr/sbin/sendmail can also be a daemon that provides a mail transport agent. For this role, section 8 seems like the only choice. Thus, I think the right section is dependent on how the package uses the /usr/sbin/sendmail it provides, but if you insist on the same section being used everywhere, then it's 8. I do not see it as a problem for different packages to provide the manual page in different sections. But I may be missing something, and if so, please elaborate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
