qmail - build and install on Potato
I'm back again! Still trying to get qmail installed so that I can have a look at it. On ftp.debian, I found qmail-src_1.03-14.deb ( and also the dependency ucspi-tcp-src_0.84-1.deb). The ucspi package installs without problems - I used 'dpkg -i ucspi etc' and then 'build-ucspi etc' followed by 'install' qmail seems to build OK, then goes straight into install without prompting but fails with the error message seen at the end of the following extract from messages in the kvt I used. [snipped] make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/qmail/qmail-1.03' # check that the local user ID's match the standard ones # This has been removed.
