What if default-mta itself depend on the current default (exim4) | mail-transport-agent? Then future changes to default-mta would not affect installed users. ie: Package: something-that-needs-an-mta Depends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent Package: default-mta Depends: exim4-daemon-light | mail-transport-agent Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
