If the application calls /bin/mail it should Requires /bin/mail. If the application really needs a (local) smtp server, it should Requires server(smtp) (smtpdaemon is deprecated, but can be used for backward compatibility). If the application calls /usr/sbin/sendmail, it should require /usr/sbin/sendmail. I guess that a Requires: /usr/sbin/sendmail is missing for cronie. fetchmail will soon stop needing a smtp server, and instead use procmail for delivery. But otherwise things looks pretty good: # repoquery --whatprovides 'server(smtp)' smtpdaemon sendmail-0:8.14.3-1.fc10.i386 postfix-2:2.5.1-4.fc10.i386 exim-0:4.69-7.fc10.i386 # repoquery --whatrequires 'server(smtp)' smtpdaemon fetchmail-0:6.3.8-7.fc10.i386 sagator-0:1.1.1-0.beta1.fc10.noarch mlmmj-0:1.2.15-2.fc9.i386 bugzilla-0:3.0.4-2.fc10.noarch amavisd-new-0:2.5.2-3.fc10.noarch # repoquery --whatprovides '/usr/sbin/sendmail' esmtp-0:0.6.0-4.fc9.i386 exim-0:4.69-7.fc10.i386 postfix-2:2.5.1-4.fc10.i386 sendmail-0:8.14.3-1.fc10.i386 ssmtp-0:2.61-11.6.fc10.i386 # repoquery --whatrequires '/usr/sbin/sendmail' websec-0:1.9.0-5.1.noarch uudeview-0:0.5.20-17.fc10.i386 pgp-tools-0:1.0-1.fc10.noarch alpine-0:2.00-1.fc10.i386 bcfg2-server-0:0.9.5.7-1.fc9.noarch dbmail-0:2.2.9-2.fc10.i386 asterisk-voicemail-0:1.6.0-0.21.beta9.fc10.i386 mgetty-0:1.1.36-1.fc10.i386 squirrelmail-0:1.4.15-1.fc10.noarch quilt-0:0.47-1.fc10.i386 fvwm-0:2.5.26-2.fc10.i386 fcron-0:3.0.3-4.fc9.i386 arpwatch-14:2.1a15-8.fc9.i386 redhat-lsb-0:3.2-2.fc10.i386 # repoquery --whatprovides '/bin/mail' mailx-0:12.4-1.fc10.i386 # repoquery --whatrequires '/bin/mail' apcupsd-0:3.14.4-2.fc10.i386 -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
