Bug#281534: uucp recommends postfix though the recommendation is met by exim4
Package: apt,uucp
Severity: important
Hi,
with the current apt (0.5.27) in sarge, an installation of uucp
(1.07-11) gives an explicit recommendation on postfix, though exim4 is
already installed, and fulfills this recommendation.
I'm filing it against both packages, because perhaps there is some way
to circumvent this behaviour in uucp for now, though I strongly believe
that the fix should be done in apt in the end.
aba@cdb:~$ sudo apt-get install uucp

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
aba@cdb:~$ apt-cache show uucp|grep Recommends
Recommends: postfix | exim4 | exim | smail | courier-mta | zmailer | rmail
aba@cdb:~$ dpkg -l exim4|grep ^ii
ii exim4 4.34-6 An MTA (Mail Transport Agent)
aba@cdb:~$
Cheers,
Andi
