Hi All, I have installed qmail + vpopmail + spamassassin and stuff and before that I have removed postfix. Qmail working perfectly, but whenever I run yast and try to install something, It keep says about dependencies of smtp_daemon. Then problem also happend when I'm using apt-get install somthing. I try to remove some depencencies like mailman fetchmail mailx but I came to problem that cron still meed smtp_daemon, and cron is something that I really need so I can't remove it. How can I fix this problem ? How can I still run qmail instead of postfix with no errors of dependencies. regards, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

Excellent questions and a solid choice of an MTA also. To disable it, I just remove /etc/init.d/postfix while I'm adding the boot file for qmail. You probably also want to create a symlink ln -s /etc/init.d/qmail /usr/sbin/apache/rcqmail. Cheers, Dee

Should actually be: ln -s /etc/init.d/qmail /usr/sbin/rcqmail -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Create a file "/etc/rpmrc" and add a line: Provides: smtp_daemon this_dep other_dep etc This used to work, hope it still does. Important: All provides must be on one line. Oops, I just see in the rpm manpage that the rcfile is searched in /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc:~/.rpmrc One of these files should do the trick for you, anyway.

Create a file "/etc/rpmrc" and add a line:
Provides: smtp_daemon this_dep other_dep etc Still no luck. I add linux-suse1:~ # more /etc/rpmrc provides: smtp_daemon mailman
But I still have dependencies problem while I run yast. -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

This came up on the suse-security list a couple of years ago. Take a look at this message: http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/suse/security/2003/03/msg00069.html. -- Homepage http://scottj.org XFce desktop environment http://www.xfce.org Goodies for the XFce desktop http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de
Craig, Scott,

Thanks, it worked ! Wow... :) I think SuSE have to think figure out what if someone wants to installl mail packages other then original postfix without failed packages dependencies smoothly. Create fake-mta.rpm is good solution, but not everybody knows howto do it... like me :D . regards, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

Try to move /etc/rpmrc to one /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc (see the "Oops" in my last mail). I wasn't sure about the exact file location. Regards, Guido -- Imperia AG, Development Leyboldstr. 10 - D-50354 Hürth - http://www.imperia.net/
