Come on: the qmail rpm says: it provides MTA, smtpdaemon, and also that it
conflicts with sendmail. In other words: the upgrading of the system *has*
the message that there is a mailer installed, and if sendmail is installed,
things get screwed up.
And the qmail rpm does not have to provide more: when I deinstall the
sendmail package, and I get no dependency errors.
