Hi Anders, Thanks for the quick response. With the nodeps option I am concern that other postfix dependent packages may have problems later. I am looking for reinstall of SuSe with customised selection of packages to include sendmail ONLY and no postfix but I could not find such option to exclude postfix during the reinstall. Regards, Daniel that
the MTA (mail trasport agant) is postfix rather than sendmail, I would prefer to use sendmail as MTA rather than postfix. So how do I deinstall
postfix so I can install sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm which I have downloaded from SuSe site.
When I attempted to install sendmail I have these errors; # rpm -ivh sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: postfix conflicts with sendmail-8.12.6-159 sendmail conflicts with postfix-1.1.11-114
Also when I attempted to remove postfix I have these errors # rpm -ev postfix error: removing these packages would break dependencies: smtp_daemon is needed by fetchmail-5.9.13-49 smtp_daemon is needed by cron-3.0.1-649 smtp_daemon is needed by mailx-8.1.1-603 smtp_daemon is needed by mutt-1.4i-114 /usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by lsb-1.2-42
rpm -e --nodeps postfix followed by rpm -i sendmail-8.12.6-i386.rpm didn't you get commercial support when you bought SLES? -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com ***************************************** This email message, including any attached files, is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
