[OmniOS-discuss] system/fm/smtp-notify mailing about already-resolved events on boot

[Olaf Marzocchi]

I didn’t know smtp-notify but looked useful so I tried to install it.
However, it depends on sendmail and I already have postfix, that also provides a binary /usr/sbin/sendmail, so they conflict (see below).
If I install the ms.omniti package postfix (compiled for r151006 but probably fine) the conflict should disappear (its sendmail goes to opt/omni/sbin/sendmail) but then how to be sure that the postfix’s one is used?

Could give me some directions?

Thanks
Olaf

pkg install: The requested change to the system attempts to install multiple actions
for link 'usr/sbin/sendmail' with conflicting attributes:

   1 package delivers 'link path=usr/sbin/sendmail target=../lib/sendmail':
       pkg://omnios/service/network/smtp/sendmail@8.14.4,5.11-0.151008:20131204T024609Z
   1 package delivers 'link path=usr/sbin/sendmail target=../local/sbin/sendmail':
       pkg://uulm.mawi/service/network/smtp/postfix@2.10.2,5.11-0.151008:20140111T165835Z

These packages may not be installed together.  Any non-conflicting set may
be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be installed.

The following packages deliver conflicting action types to usr/lib/sendmail:

   pkg://uulm.mawi/service/network/smtp/postfix@2.10.2,5.11-0.151008:20140111T165835Z

   pkg://omnios/service/network/smtp/sendmail@8.14.4,5.11-0.151008:20131204T024609Z

These packages may not be installed together. Any non-conflicting set may
be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be installed.
