forcemerge #502790 #511113 thanks Hey Christoph, thanks for reporting this. Please take a look in #502790. Unfortunately heirloom-mailx is not currently compatible with apticron.
Apticron version 1.1.26 avoids this issue, as described in its changelog:
apticron (1.1.26) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
* debian/control:
+ replace mailx to bsd-mailx | mailutils, since heirloom-mailx provides
mailx and is not compatible with our command line used to add UTF-8
charset in mail header. Thanks to John Eikenberry; (Closes: #502790)
[...]
Also, note that mailx is a transitional dummy package which will be replaced
soon by bsd-mailx:
ti...@thinkpad:~$ LANG=C apt-cache show mailx |tail -4
Description: Transitional package for mailx rename
This dummy package is provided to smooth the upgrade from mailx to
bsd-mailx and can be safely removed afterwards.
ti...@thinkpad:~$ apt-cache show bsd-mailx |grep ^Replaces
Replaces: mailx (<< 1:20071201)
So, it that possible for you using one of the following bsd-mailx package
providers instead of heirloom-mailx in order to get apticron running in your
system?
citadel-mta, courier-mta, esmtp-run, exim4-daemon-heavy, exim4-daemon-light,
masqmail, msmtp-mta, nbsmtp, nullmailer, postfix, sendmail-bin, ssmtp, xmail
cheers,
