Where is the point? OP did already know how to manage dependencies, he can install ssmtp if he wanted to, but he doesn't. You just move the choice a bit, I did in contrary suggest a solution for mutt and similar MUA packages and users that have very custom wishes. > That way, if you don't have an MTA already, it will select a simple "get > mail to a real MTA" package, whose configuration will ask "where's your > real MTA?" I though the whole thread is about how to resolve dependencies without having any MTA installed. You imagine that some newbie user wishes to install mutt but has _intentionaly_ removed exim before and now needs some help. Very unlikely, IMO. MfG, Eduard. -- <DeVries> Wann kommt Debian3.0?
