Ok, I have msmpt installed and working just fine.
Now, all of a sudden, emerge -pvuDN world wants to install mailx.
equery depends mailx says rkhunter is pulling it in via virtual/mailx
Why isn't this dependency satisfied by the presence of msmtp?
And more importantly, how can I fix it without installing mailx?
Simplest answer:
It was never done because nobody did it.
Whoever maintains virtual/mailx does so believing they have a decent set
of implementations available for you to use. There was never any
guarantee there that all possible satisfiers for virtual/mailx would be
listed.
File a feature request at b.g.o. if you feel msmtp satsifies virtual/mailx.
Actually, I'm not really concerned about virtual/mails...
My question is why does it want to install the full program
'net-mail/mailx'? That would mean I had two mta's on my system, which
should be a conflict, right? I know if I try to install postfix, it
complains about msmtp as a blocker.
