Package: apticron Version: 1.1.27 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello,
Apticron uses the -a option, which for different mailx packages means different things. With bsd-mailx, it means adding a header ; with heirloom-mailx, it means attaching a file. Since you are already depending on bsd-mailx, why don't you just do what you want, that is invoking /usr/bin/bsd-mailx instead of /usr/bin/mailx which may be a symlink to one or the other ?
