Description of problem: Sendmail should provide the "MTA" capability. Some packages require "MTA" and thus sendmail cannot satisfy that dependency. Postfix and exim both provide "MTA". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -q --provides sendmail | grep MTA Actual results: # rpm -q --provides sendmail | grep MTA # Expected results: # rpm -q --provides sendmail | grep MTA MTA # Additional info: This appears to have been fixed upstream at some point. From Fedora 10: $ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 10 (Cambridge) $ rpm -q sendmail sendmail-8.14.3-3.fc10.i386 $ rpm -q --provides sendmail | grep MTA MTA
