Package: quilt
Version: 0.46-4
Severity: normal

Hello,

The "quilt mail" command does not work for me since it cannot find
/usr/sbin/sendmail in the path of a normal user.

  $ quilt mail --send --subject 'foo' --from 'Ian Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' 
--to '$MAINTAINER'
  sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] $MAINTAINER
  No mail transfer agent configured for `quilt mail'

This last message comes from /usr/share/quilt/compat/sendmail.

I tried explicitly setting my $PATH to include /usr/sbin, using sudo and
running as root and none of these seemed to work. In the end I had to
add the /usr/sbin/ prefix to the sendmail command in
/usr/share/quilt/mail explicitly.

I suspect part of the problem is in /usr/share/quilt/scripts/patchfns
where:
  export PATH="$QUILT_DIR/compat:$PATH"
this means that the compat stuff will always take precedence, you
probably want the comapt bit at the end. This still won't help find
sendmail in the default $PATH but at least adding /usr/sbin to $PATH
would work as a workaround.

Thanks,
Ian.
