[Bug 1893268] Re: msmtp package should use update-alternatives for symlinking
Indeed, bugs be better filed in Debian so that the package maintainer Emmanuel Bouthenot would see this (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/msmtp). As for the idea: There are a lot of programs that provide the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary (or symlink), see https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents=%2Fusr%2Fsbin%2Fsendmail=path=stable=any All of these packages would need to agree to use update-alternatives for this. Currently I suspect no package is using it (checked Postfix and Exim pacakges, neither used update-alternatives). A single package maintainer cannot decide on this alone. Based on https://salsa.debian.org/exim- team/exim4/-/blob/master/debian/changelog#L6390-6394 there was something like this planned in 2002 but does not exists today. While update-alternatives could have its merits, currently these packages seem to work by all providing the same metapackage and conflicting each other via it: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/mail- transport-agent ** Changed in: msmtp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893268 Title: msmtp package should use update-alternatives for symlinking To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msmtp/+bug/1893268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Heikki, I would suggest you report this to Debian as msmtp(-mta) is simply sync'ed from Debian to Ubuntu. Once you've done it, please add the link to the bug in here.

Correction. This bug report should apply to msmtp-mta package which creates the symlink from sendmail to msmtp. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893268 Title: msmtp package should use update-alternatives for symlinking To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msmtp/+bug/1893268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
