Well, english is not my native language, but this message tells to me that
sendmail cannot be installed (conflicts) at the same time than qmail and rpm
advises you so.
You have 3 options at this time:
1)keep sendmail and don't install qmail. Obviously you aren't interested in
this soultion, otherwise you wouldn't be asking ;-)
2)first remove sendmail (not just sendmail-cf or sendmail-docs) and then
install qmail
rpm -e sendmail sendmail-cf sendmail-doc
(or it was sendmail-docs?)
If this gives you messages that this will break dependencies of other packages
either remove the offending packages too or, if the package just depends on
"smtpdaemon", ignore the warning and force the deinstallation of sendmail with
the --nodeps option. If you want to know in advance which packages depends on
smtpdaemon, so you can safely ignore dependencies while removing sendmail, try
the command
rpm -q --whatrequires smtpdaemon
which on my system gives:
nmh-0.24-7
fetchmail-4.5.3-1
mutt-0.91.1-5
these packages will work again after installing qmail.
3)ignore the "conflict" and install qmail with the --nodeps (not --force)
option and accept the consequences (i.e.: mainly if you later deinstall
sendmail it will probably remove /usr/bin/sedmail -- it should not but it
happened to me)
BTW, "man rpm" will tell you this and more.
