Bug#24555: anacron: uses /usr/lib/sendmail
Package: anacron
Version: 2.0.1-2
I've noted that anacron uses /usr/lib/sendmail instead of
/usr/sbin/sendmail, and my MTA doesn't provide a /usr/lib/sendmail
link (it is a qmail version compiled by me), so it doesn't work for
me.
Jul 14 13:13:40 lobo /usr/sbin/cron[283]: (CRON) STARTUP (fork ok)
Jul 14 13:18:28 lobo anacron[204]: Job `cron.daily' started
Jul 14 13:18:28 lobo anacron[377]: Updated timestamp for job `cron.daily' to 1998-07-14
Jul 14 13:18:13 lobo su: (to nobody) root on none
Jul 14 13:23:35 lobo syslogd 1.3-3#26: restart.

# strings /usr/sbin/anacron |grep sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail
Can't exec /usr/lib/sendmail
Tried to mail output of job `%s', but mailer process (/usr/lib/sendmail) exited with ststus %d

Policy says at 4.5.:
"The mail spool is `/var/spool/mail' and the interface to send a
mail message is `/usr/sbin/sendmail' (as per the FSSTND)."
So this needs to be fixed, but anyway I think it's not
release-critical at all for hamm, IIRC all debian MTAs provide a
/usr/lib/sendmail link.
