Description Björn Persson 2013-01-02 13:30:43 UTC

Description of problem:
The sendmail-devel package requires the sendmail package. sendmail-devel contains the header files for Libmilter, the symbolic link libmilter.so, and the documentation for Libmilter. I see no reason why this package would need the Sendmail daemon to be installed. It should require only sendmail-milter.

It would even make more sense to call the package sendmail-milter-devel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sendmail-devel-8.14.5-14.fc17.x86_64

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-03 23:19:20 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:53:58 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)
