Package: abcde
Version: 2.5.4-1
Severity: normal

cddb-tool uses the -a flag to the mail command to add a header line. GNU
mailutils does not have an -a flag, and heirloom-mailx uses it to attach a
file instead, hence if either of those is installed as /usr/bin/mail, then
cddb-tool will not work.

I have filed a bug about this upstream: 
https://code.google.com/p/abcde/issues/detail?id=111

For Debian, there’s a simple workaround: make abcde depend on bsd-mailx (as
different packages providing “mailx” can be installed together), and change
line 199 of cddb-tool to invoke “bsd-mailx” rather than “mail”. This fixes
the bug (I’ve tested it!).
