Greets, So I recently installed debian over a heavily hacked and modified slackware configuration, after some bizzare set of cirumstances left me without a /usr/lib directory on the system. So I installed the 1.3.x version of debian from the infomagic CDs, and then updated everything to hamm. However, I ran into a glitch. I don't like smail. My old system ran qmail, so I installed and am currently using qmail quite happily. However, I updated the smail package accidentally, which caused the sendmail symlink to be overwritten by smail which left me without the ability to send mail for a day or so until I realized what happened.
I wasn't happy, to say the least. Now the problem is that to remove smail, I'm left with a hanging dependency for an MTA, and the current qmail deb file isn't up to date. So what I'd like to do is tell dselect / apt / dpkg somehow that the MTA dependency is "taken care of, don't worry about it". I'm not quite sure how to go about that. Can anyone lend a clue? -Seth -- "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion" -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
