From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314 Description of problem: I did a custom install, selecting httpd, sendmail, and named package groups. (I did not select individual components, just selected the above, and deselected most other default groups.) On reboot sendmail startup failed with the following messages: sendmail: sendmail startup succeeded sendmail: No local mailer defined sendmail: QueueDirectory (Q) option must be set tuxfan sendmail: sm-client startup failed After some poking around, I found that while sendmail and sendmail-cf were installed, m4 was not. Installing m4 solved the problem. I'm not sure if this is related to the installer or one of the affected packages. Sendmail-cf doesn't require m4, nor does anything else for that matter. $ rpm -q --whatrequires m4 no package requires m4 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select custom install 2. Select sendmail server package group. (I also added httpd and named) 3. Deselect other default package groups (XFree, Gnome, etc.) Actual Results: Two clean installs, same results both times. Expected Results: Sendmail should start normally. Additionally, it is impossible to generate a working config file for sendmail unless the m4 package is installed. Additional info:
Fixed. Thanks a lot, Florian La Roche
