[Bug 1222179] Re: /usr/bin/mail has no package
Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. As you've since found that /usr/bin/mail is a symlink, it's not clear to me that this is still a bug. No package ships /usr/bin/mail directly, although bsd-mailx does provide it. So I don't think it's expected that apt-file search will find anything under /usr/bin/mail, since it only finds files shipped directly by packages, rather than supplied by their postinsts. If you still think this issue is a bug, please explain your reasoning and change the status back to New. Otherwise, please change the status to Invalid. Thanks! ** Changed in: bsd-mailx (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bsd-mailx in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222179 Title: /usr/bin/mail has no package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bsd-mailx/+bug/1222179/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Ah, I notice that /usr/bin/mail is a symlink: $ ll /usr/bin/mail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 31 16:55 /usr/bin/mail -> /etc/alternatives/mail and its target is also a symlink: $ ll /etc/alternatives/mail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 31 16:55 /etc/alternatives/mail -> /usr/bin/mail.mailutils and the ultimate target is in a package: $ apt-file search /usr/bin/mail.mailutils mailutils: /usr/bin/mail.mailutils -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222179 Title: /usr/bin/mail has no package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/1222179/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
