Can you tell me where to find the unprocessed version of pkg-
install? What is in work/ has already been processed by sed, and I
didn't see anything obvious in files/
I know I should read the porters' handbook, but at this point I'm
just poking around to try to get some sense of how the pieces come
together.
I'm beginning to think that the fix will be as simple as
--- Makefile.orig Fri Apr 20 14:17:08 2007
+++ Makefile Fri Apr 20 14:18:14 2007

.if defined(WITH_SENDMAIL) || defined(WITH_EXIM3) || defined(WITH_EXIM4)
BROKEN= choose only one MTA integration
.endif
-MAIL_GID?= nobody
+MAIL_GID?= mailman
.endif
.if defined(WITH_CHINESE)
But I haven't tested. And I don't know what the original reason was
for using "nobody", so I may very well be talking nonsense.
Cheers,
