[Bug 660089] Re: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb
IANOMOTU but as Debian maintainer I'm happy to say that nullmailer now implements -bs and no longer conflicts with the LSB. This fix was recently imported to Ubuntu in version 1.11. ** Changed in: nullmailer (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660089 Title: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nullmailer/+bug/660089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ubuntu has already violated this with the introduction of lsb-invalid-mta, a "MTA" script that always fails, including on -bs. It was created to provide something as a dependency of the lsb metapackages, which would not build up unchecked mbox files on systems that are (ostensibly) workstations without local mail. Additionally, ssmtp (and one other, I think, but which one escapes me at the moment) does not support -bs, but is not listed as conflicting with lsb. I took this as a hint that the conflict was not actually necessary on nullmailer, either. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to work on a 'real' implementation of the feature; I needed it for my workstation at $dayjob, and created my own ~suffixed dpkg without the conflict. I offered the conflicts change solely for real-world practicality. -- -- Todd Vierling -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660089 Title: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[As per recent comments, unmarking patch as a solution since the patch is a workaround and not an appropriate fix. Also, ubsubbing sponsors since it sounds like further discussion is required with upstream to find a suitable long term fix, and the severity of the issue is not such that we require a short-term fix for ubuntu. Please re-subscribe sponsors once a consensus is reached with upstream, or provide clarifying rationale if diverging from upstream is needed.] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660089 Title: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 660089] Re: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb
Hi, Just dropping in - I'm the intending new Debian maintainer for nullmailer and I'd be open to reviewing the decision on dbug:271662 ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271662 ) It still seems to be the case, however, that the -bs option for SMTP mail submission is mandated by LSB. Nullmailer doesn't do it by design, so the conflict is genuine and not likely to go away without some work. It may be possible to split the package so that only the part with /usr/lib/sendmail has the LSB conflict, or to find some lesser part of the LSB that we can conflict or conform with - I'll investigate this aspect once I've got my adoption upload done. Alternatively perhaps someone who wants LSB compliance could write a patch to implement -bs and solve the problem ? Please followup on the Debian BTS if you can, thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660089 Title: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for reporting this issue. The best way for us to get this fixed in Ubuntu is to get it fixed in the upstream Debian package, and to sync the package to Ubuntu.

Jonathan, it's not possible to install the "lsb" metapackage, which aids in building/maintaining some third-party source that is distro- independent, if nullmailer is installed (though it's possible to do so if other noncompliant MTAs are installed, such as ssmtp or the lsb- invalid-mta). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660089 Title: nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
