** Description changed: apticron fails to send its email report when /usr/bin/mailx is provided by s-nail, as s-nail uses a different command interface than heirloom- - mailx and bsd-mailx. + mailx and bsd-mailx: - Note that apticron does check whether mailx is provided by heirloom- - mailx or bsd-mailx, but it does not seem to support s-nail. However, a - standard release upgrade from 12.04 to 16.04 (via 14.04) has left my - system in a state in which mailx is provided by s-nail without my help, - so this might break many users’ configurations. + apticron will die with the following output: + > MIME-Version: 1.0: No such file or directory + + + Note that apticron does check whether mailx is provided by heirloom-mailx or bsd-mailx, but it does not seem to support s-nail.
