esmtp provides /usr/sbin/sendmail which is needed by redhat-lsb-core. However, it's only one of multiple packages that can provide it. If you already have one of exim, msmtp, opensmtpd, postfix or sendmail installed, then it won't pull esmtp in. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
