ds: line. It should have Depends: mail-transport-agent | mailx. I felt a bit bad about the mailx before since the bsd one drags in a bunch of junk if that one is selected, but surely anyone that is using mailcrypt has an mta installed anyway so this solves the dependency issue without actually instal

Adding a "Depends" on update-inetd resolves this problem. Tested with piuparts (thought cnews causes some trouble because of its config). -- Jim Studt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The package fails for the lack of a /usr/bin/mail program. Since it seems unlikely that this package will ever be used without such a program installed, adding "mailx" to the Depends resolves this. -- Jim Studt [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECT

2008-10-06 Thread Jim Studt
The upstream source changed the way it handles files between etch and lenny. In the process of adding an as yet undocumented feature to process directories of magic files they have made is so the ".mime" suffix must be explicitly put on to the filename when loading .mime files. I pulled t

I don't believe a simple putenv() in main() will work, it is probably too late at that point. Furthermore, the problem is somewhere below libc, probably libnss-ldap. I rebuilt with debugging turned on, made a spot for core dumps, and enabled suid core dumping. I've collected four cores so fa
