Thanks for the info, Thomas. See comments below. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv The good news is that because this new macro is both important and wide-spread we decided to include this feature into openpkg-1.3.1-1.3.1 [3] for forward compatiblity. If this macro is the only incompatiblity then today's CURRENT packages will work with the 1.3.1 update of OpenPKG. Chances are that pine is one of them. Have fun! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Great! I have changed the openpkg dependency in my new version of the pine rpm to be 1.3.1 and everything works fine. Thanks. > >2) MTA > > > >I assume that this is referring to a Mail Transport Agent. [...] vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Exactly. In many situations it costs more to tweak a package to not use an MTA than to convince the user to install an MTA just to fulfill the requirement. That's why we provide the ssmtp package. It is a tiny little submit-only software package. I have to admit that it has few requirements but too many for bootstrapping, as Bill pointed out when describing his issue with "sudo" in another posting within this thread. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I see your point, But as I explain in another message, here at the University, we need to have mail clients such as pine default to pointing to the standard OS sendmail (/usr/sbin/sendmail on RedHat and /usr/lib/sendmail on Solaris). So in my new rpm, I have a new option, which if enabled, allows pine to point to the system standard sendmail and removes the MTA dependency.
