Yes, my apologies for that. I was already partway through this process, but the necessity of rebuilding from scratch coupled with my attempts to reduce the problem to the minimum number of packages that trigger it make for a really, really long build-check cycle. But I eventually narrowed it down to this: if ssmtp is the last entry in a *.list file, and there is no trailing newline in the file, it is ignored. This drove me nuts when I got to the point of having two *apparently* completely identical config trees, and one would produce an image with ssmtp and the other wouldn't (serves me right for telling meld to shut up about white space and line endings). So I'm guessing that this is due to whatever lower level tool is used to convert these files into aptitude/apt arguments. — Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
