[MiNT] Olga, QED, and aMAIL...?

[Helmut_Karlowski@mausd.gun.de]

Hallo Guido

GF>Anyway, setting up smail for that purpose is really simple. When
GF>installing the smail rpm you have to edit one single config file (four
or
GF>five lines) and everything is already prepared. Really not that hard.

BTW: When I try to rpm -i smail, rpm complains about missing gzip and
/bin/sh which both exist.

In general: Everytime another package (or program) is required, rpm
fails to find it even if it exists, eg /bin/sh, else it works ok.

Am I doing something wrong?

Here's the output:

#rpm -vv -i smail*
