potato, sendmail, and newaliases...



Well, I've had a fun night.  it appears that the new potato packages
do something to break sendmail... apparently in the code which
makes up a new aliases.db.  when I run newaliases by itself I get
errors saying that it can't find/open aliases/aliases.db
I would paste in the errors, but I'd have to reinstall sendmail which
would break my mailing again which I can't do.  In any case, I'm
not sure if the problem is with glibc2.1, the database routines, or
just sendmail.  I was getting similar errors with smail.  The only
package which seems to work is zmailer... so it's staying around
for a while.  Anyone know what is going on?
