• Bug#266535: apt-proxy: postinst sends email to root@localhost instead o

    From Roland Turner@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 18 10:30:13 2004

    Package: apt-proxy
    Version: 1.9.17
    Severity: normal

    The postinst has "root@localhost" hard-wired as the recipient of an email
    about the upgrade; this address is not guaranteed to exist. "root" always exists and should be used instead.

    (In my particular case, "root@localhost" is expanded, legitimately, to "[email protected]" which does not exist. The resulting email was
    stuck in a queue because my smarthost won't accept emails to or from
    invalid addresses.)
