Bug#476455: exiwhat of exim4-base requires killall but it does not depend on psmisc package to ensure killall is installed

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.63-17
Severity: normal



exiwhat (from exim4-base package) invokes killall but to enforce its
presence it shall depend on psmisc package that installs killall,
but it does not do so, which causes:

/home/carlos# exiwhat
/usr/sbin/exiwhat: line 113: killall: command not found
No exim process data

manual installation of psmisc solves this issue.
