[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#514224: gridengine-common: please allow alternatives to bsd-mailx

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gridengine-common
Version: 6.2-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

please add alternatives to the bsd-mailx dependency. Other 'mailx' 
implementations, e.g. mailutils, should work, too.
Or can you just depend on 'mailx' which is provided by several packages?
(And conflict with known not working ones?)

Andreas
