Bug#1034543: xfce4: No MTA installed in default XFCE desktop
Package: xfce4
Version: 4.18
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I did a fresh installation of testing (bookworm), and installed XFCE as
desktop.
Installation went fine without any problems.
Logging into the XFCE user session works fine too.
Then I wanted to file an installation-report with reportbug, that failed in
the first attempt with
"The MTA /usr/sbin/sendmail is not available; exiting."
This is indeed correct, sendmail is not installed, and exim or postfix are not
installed as well.
I guess this is not a good default for a new system?
Or is this expected?
Feel free to ask, if you need more information or tests.
Holger
