Hi
at bdeps on ssmtp | mail-transport-agent, presumably to satisfy the
configure checks for /usr/lib/sendmail and avoid pulling heavy packages
like exim or postfix which might even fail to install in buildd
chroots.
I think it would be nicer and less risky to avoid the bdep altogether
and set the sendmail path yourself; this can be achieved by calling
configure with SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail in the env; I confirmed this
works fine.
If you don't care about MAIL_CMD versus SENDMAIL, then you can drop the
sed foo to fix config.h as well and set SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
when calling configure instead.
(This bdep is actually a problem in Ubuntu because at is a package we
support, but ssmtp isn't; this conflicts with the fact that ssmtp is
used as a bdep of at.)
Thanks,
