I'm trying to build pine 4.58 from the OpenPKG "current" repository. It
tells me that it needs 2 dependencies I don't have:
1) openpkg >= 20030909
All my other installed packages are from the 1.3 release, and I'm only
getting pine from the "current" repository because it's not available in the
1.3 release. So is this a real dependency, or will pine build and install
fine if I have openpkg-1.3.1-1.3.1 installed? (If it is the latter, I will
just edit the spec file.)
2) MTA
I assume that this is referring to a Mail Transport Agent. If so, I know
pine needs an MTA to run; but this is not a dependency in the usual sense of
the word. There is no package called MTA, and it is up to the sysadmin
and/or user to pick an MTA (sendmail or some other SMTP agent) to use.
So why is this listed here? I understand the value of a reminder, but
shouldn't there be a way to get pine to build without having to edit the
spec file?
Thanks,
Dennis
