Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.5
Severity: normal
Hola,
jidanni brought the following mailutils installation warning to my
attention in #565530:
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative
/usr/bin/from.mailutils because link group from is broken.
update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /usr/bin/from with a link.
update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /usr/share/man/man1/from.1.gz with
a link.
Due to a bug in mailutils' packaging, fixed recently, GNU from was not being
registered as an alternative until very recently, so the users had to
invoke "from.mailutils". I added the missing bit to postinst, to just find
out bsdmainutils has another implementation of from, with apparently
compatible behaviour and command line.
Would you consider registering from in an alternative so both implementations
can coexist? FYI, Mailutils' alternative is installed with priority 20.
Thanks,
Jordi
