I have qmail installed on my system via an rpm which has "%provides MTA smtpdaemon" and "%conflicts sendmail". Nevertheless, when I upgraded my 5.0 system to 5.2--though I did not select it--sendmail got installed. This silently overwote some essential files in the qmail package---and after rebooting, sendmail started accepting mail, and deliver it to the wrong place.
which files were overwritten?? If we have a list of that we can %config those files in the sendmail rpm.
After reviewing the sendmail and qmail rpm, we cannot fix this. the qmail sepc file lists: %file <snip> /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail This is bad. The qmail rpm should either make a symlink to 'sendmail' or be listed as 'qmail' or something else. this is why these files conflict. ------- Email Received From Mate Wierdl <mw.memphis.edu> 03/26/99 14:47 -------
