Package: nbsmtp Version: 1.00-2 Severity: normal This program provides mail-transport-agent, which means that installing it on a system will break its ability to send mail normally -- whatever package currently provides /usr/sbin/sendmail will be uninstalled, because of the mail-transport-agent conflict, but nbsmtp does not provide /usr/sbin/sendmail as required by policy 11.6 (it provides /usr/bin/sendmail instead). For example, on this system right now, mailx and reportbug do not work properly -- I need to install esmtp after opening the editor in order to send this bug report :-). In addition, nbsmtp does not provide a sendmail-compatible interface, so even symlinking /usr/bin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail doesn't give me working email. IMHO nbsmtp should either: 1. Stop providing mail-transport-agent and /usr/bin/sendmail, or 2. Update its interface to be more-or-less sendmail-compatible and move /usr/bin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail
