Debian Questions
Would someone knowledgeable in debian'ese answer a couple of
questions.
1. The debian policy manual Section 3.4 System Run Levels talks about
symbolic links in the /etc/rcn.d directories. All of my rc[0-S].d
directories are empty. Upateprc.d man page says updates those same
directories. It doesn't do that on my slink setup. Am i reading this
all wrong?
2. As I have decided to use qmail as my MTA, I am having problems
installing, from slink or stable, any MUA's or procmail. I had a
problem with the slink version of mutt so compiled and installed my
own. Now I want to instal procmail but, of course, it won't install
because it needs an MTA and doesn't know about qmail. I can't seem to
find any info as to how to force an install and ignore dependicies.
Have I missed something here also?
Thanks for any pointers you may know about.
