Ubuntu has already violated this with the introduction of lsb-invalid-mta, a "MTA" script that always fails, including on -bs. It was created to provide something as a dependency of the lsb metapackages, which would not build up unchecked mbox files on systems that are (ostensibly) workstations without local mail. Additionally, ssmtp (and one other, I think, but which one escapes me at the moment) does not support -bs, but is not listed as conflicting with lsb. I took this as a hint that the conflict was not actually necessary on nullmailer, either. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to work on a 'real' implementation of the feature; I needed it for my workstation at $dayjob, and created my own ~suffixed dpkg without the conflict. I offered the conflicts change solely for real-world practicality. -- -- Todd Vierling <t...@duh.org> <t...@pobox.com> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660089 Title: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
