Hi, the heirloom-mailx package has been removed in version 14.9.4-1. You
likely have an old version of the package installed. Relevant changelog

  * New upstream version 14.9.4
  * Modernize package: DH compat level, Vcs-* URL, Standards-Version
  * Remove heirloom-mailx transitional package (Closes: #876871)
