Here are the main control fields: == Package: morg-mailcommands Source: morg Version: 0.1.1 Priority: optional Section: non-free/admin Maintainer: Székelyi Szabolcs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pre-Depends: morg-base Depends: adduser, morg-keyring, procmail, gnupg, sudo, postfix Architecture: all == The question is why doesn't exim4 get removed when installing morg-mailcommands (`apt-get install morg-mailcommands`) (which pulls in postfix which conflicts with exim4)? Thanks, -- Szabolcs
