The postfix package appears to have been removed from Debian testing, but both stable and unstable packages have: Depends: libsasl2-2 Suggests: libsasl2-modules | dovecot-common And libsasl2-2 (both stable and unstable) has: Depends: libsasl2-modules-db Recommends: libsasl2-modules So libsasl2-modules is not a hard dependency of postfix (unless I missed some other dependency chain), but it is installed by default, unless you have specified --no-install-recommends. ...Marvin _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
