sendmail depends on deliver. However, in at least two common

perfectly without deliver. sendmail should only recommend it.

This line in sendmail.mc:

(assuming the procmail package is installed), but it shouldn't be
necessary to do this as

Package: sendmail

After saying `/etc/init.d/sendmail stop', `/etc/init.d/sendmail start' will
not restart sendmail because it thinks it is already running. I think this
is because /var/run/sendmail.pid isn't unlinked for some reason.
This is a serious problem; if you edit /etc/m

If you say yes at the appropriate prompt, bindconfig will create zones
called `localhost' and `0.0.127.in-addr.arpa'. This is correct, but it
could go further -- all of 127.0.0.0/8 is loopback, so it could provide the
`127.in-addr.arpa' zone with one entry, `1.0.
Package: xntp
Version: 3.5c-1
xntp's postinst only lets you input one timeserver. It would be easy to
have it allow you to enter multiple space-seperated timeservers, and output
multiple `server' lines into /etc/ntp.conf.

One fix might be to make it setgid mail, iff the code is written to be

Followup indicates that this will be fixed in NetKit-B 0.08, so we
should update to that ASAP.

Until adding the appropriate entries to ~/.mime.types and ~/.mailcap,
Mosaic does not know to launch xpdf for a PDF file. It would be nice
if the postinst added this to /etc/mime.types and /etc/mailcap.

Actually, it shouldn't use either -- it should use the magic

I had already packaged and uploaded popclient before noticing this.
I'm not sure it needs to be in netstd; if we take it out, I can
trivially upload another version that
Package: fvwm2
Version: 2.0.42-BETA-0
fvwm2 doesn't include the FvwmClean (aka NoClutter) module, even
though it references it in the system .fvwm2rc. Preferably it should
include this module, but if not it shouldn't be referenced.

Take a look at the rescue disks on ftp.varesearch.com. They're very good.

Interesting, then, that Mr Lampson now works for Microsoft.
