Package: sendmail-bin Version: 8.13.8-3 Severity: normal File: /usr/lib/sm.bin/mail.local
Looking in Debian policy http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s-mail-transport-agents I see "... fcntl() locking must be ..."; whereas checking the workings of mail.local (with "strings -a mail.local" or "strace mail.local") suggests that it uses flock() (and *.lock file). Is this "wrong"? The man pages suggest that lockf() is essentially same as fcntl(), but that flock() is un-related. (Apologies if I misunderstood something and in fact things are "right".)
