Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.61
Dear maintainer:
After installing apticron I got a lot of unwanted dependencies.
This is because apticron depend on "mailx" which is purely virtual,
and apt choose mailutils and all its dependencies.
For a simple notification tool like this, bsd-mailx is more than enough.
Suggested patch below.
Thanks.
