I find this extremely surprising. How did you install trixie/13? netinst image? debootstrap? Something else? What desktop (if any) did you select during installation? Specifically which version of trixie did you install (current version is 13.4)? Was this a fresh install or an upgrade from a previous version? I performed two installs (into VMs) of the netinst image https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-13.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso linked from https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst. For both, I used the non-graphical expert install. For the first, I chose to install no desktop environment, and for the second I chose the default desktop environment. In the console-only system, none of libsasl2-2, libsasl2-modules, or libsasl2-modules-db were installed. In the desktop system, all three were installed. I did not install postfix (or any other MTA) in either system. Your installation must have been done differently. Perhaps you used an older version of trixie and there was a bug in the libsasl2-2 dependencies? I don't see any such fix in the debian changelog for the package. Perhaps you chose a different desktop environment, and that desktop somehow installed libsasl2-2 without libsasl2-modules? I'm not a debian installer expert, but I know enough about it to be skeptical of this. I am at a loss to explain what you observed. If you can't reproduce it with a fresh install, I would just drop it; installing postfix will, with default apt settings, bring in libsasl2-modules. If you can reproduce it, the details of how you performed the install would be very interesting. ...Marvin _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
