--- Begin Message ---Package: sympa Version: 6.2.16~dfsg-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I have noticed that on my stretch system, the package has set the wrong path for newaliases binary, as you can see: Can't exec "/usr/bin/newaliases": No such file or directory at /usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa_newaliases.pl line 141. err main::#159 Cannot execute aliases_program "newaliases": No such file or directory newaliases exited with status 2 root@web:/etc/mail# /usr/bin/newaliases bash: /usr/bin/newaliases: No such file or directory root@web:/etc/mail# which newaliases /usr/sbin/newaliases Indeed, /usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa_newaliases.pl line 141 shows: q{/usr/bin/newaliases } Looking at the upstream content of the file: https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/blob/master/src/sbin/sympa_newaliases.pl.in#L141 This looks like a templating issue. While it does not break the aliasmanager outright, all related commands exit with an error status and confusing error messages (in the UI too.)

--- Begin Message ---Hello, AFAIK the canonical location of newaliases is /usr/bin/newaliases. If your SMTP server deviates from that, please file a bug there or add a symlink. Regards Racke -- Ecommerce and Linux consulting + Perl and web application programming. Debian and Sympa administration.
