Subject: mailutils: missing symlink /usr/bin/mailx

Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 20:26:57 +0200

Package: mailutils
Version: 20020409-1
Severity: important

While the package info says that mailutils provides "mailx", there is no
symlink /usr/bin/mailx ot /usr/bin/mail as it is provided by the
(conflicting) package "mailx".

Probably some other programs/scripts are relying on the existance of
/usr/bin/mailx.

Therefore a symlink /usr/bin/mailx pointing to "mail" should be added.
