courier deps
Finally did an dist-upgrade from Sarge/Testing to Etch/Testing and courier-mta is a dep of webmin-core and at?
I dont want or need courier-mta on my desktop, dont really need webmin-core either mind you, however, did I miss this is the original install or is this a new dependency? Is there a way to install at and webmin-core without courier-mta etc? I've tried echo <package name> hold | dpkg --set-selections but when I try apt-get install at for example it still tries to install courier-mta, -authdaemon, -base etc. |

That's what I thought, however when I go apt-get install webmin-core I get the following:
Pebcak:/home/jason# apt-get install webmin-core Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: at courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-mta Suggested packages: courier-doc courier-filter-perl webmin-lvm mdctl mdadm The following NEW packages will be installed: at courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-mta webmin-core The following held packages will be changed: courier-authdaemon courier-base 0 upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 3572kB of archives. After unpacking 17.2MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] So it may be at that is the problem. But once again as little as I use webmin it's "interesting" to see that to get that I have to apparently install a MTA on a desktop. |
That could be because before this, you've tried installing courier and canceled mid-way. This way apt-get would know that you've wanted to install it, and will install it everytime you run apt-get.
Before installing webmin, do: Code:
apt-get remove --purge courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-mta |
Darn it, same problem. It wants to install those silly courier packages.

at depends on a MTA, webmin-core depends on at. You need an MTA to get those installed. You can install something else like Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, etc if you don't like Courier.

I can live without webmin-core quite nicely, especially on the desktop, at this point its more me being puzzled at having to install a MTA more then anything else. |
