hello, I'm trying to install the updated sendmail packages that fix the latest security hole. But after the installation I get this: see below.
I've installed version 8.12.6-7 from testing, which runs fine. My system is a your basic woody system plus some packags from testing. To summerize: 8.12.3-5 worked 8.12.3-6.2. didn't work 8.12.6-7 works i'm I doing something wrong here?
