| arraybolt3 | um, how on earth did Postfix become a dependency of something on a system that has just the base Ubuntu packages, Ubuntu dev tools, IceWM, and QTerminal installed? | 03:55 |
|---|---|---|
| arraybolt3 | I don't want to run a mail server on my package builder VM 😠| 03:56 |
| JackFrost | apt list '?and(?installed, ?recommends(~npostfix))' IIRC. | 04:32 |
| arraybolt3 | `Listing... Done` | 04:34 |
| arraybolt3 | no output | 04:34 |
| JanC | some stuff (mostly servers?) depends on or recommends a mailserver to send mails when errors occur | 05:26 |
| JanC | maybe some dev tools too (e.g. to send patches to LKML...) | 05:27 |
| JanC | it would not depend on postfix directly but on a metapackage (mail-transport-agent or something like that) | 05:30 |
| JanC | something like nullmailer should satisfy that too | 05:30 |
| JanC | or lsb-invalid-mta | 05:31 |
| JanC | that one will just return an error every time something tries to send an e-mail :) | 05:32 |
| JanC | so: apt list '?and(?installed, ?recommends(~nmail-transport-agent))' | 05:35 |
| JanC | arraybolt3: ^ | 05:35 |
| JanC | e.g. buildd depends on an MTA | 05:40 |

| * JanC wonders if it makes sense to install lsb-invalid-mta by default... | 12:47 | |

| arraybolt3 | jbicha: aha, lucky us :-/ | 17:24 |
| arraybolt3 | anyway I just set it to "local-only" mode and let it install. | 17:24 |
| jbicha | well go ahead and apt purge it afterwards then | 18:16 |
