"libutil.so.8" not found, required by "sendmail"

Hi,

I'm running current (r203336) with mail/ssmtp from ports installed
instead of sendmail. Whenever I try to send email, I get an error that
libutil.so.8 is not available.

# periodic daily
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libutil.so.8" not found, required
by "sendmail"

# ldd /usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail:
libutil.so.8 => not found (0x0)
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800646000)

I'm not sure if this is a problem with mailwrapper in the base system
or the ssmtp port - any pointers?

Thanks,

Would appear to be a problem with your base system, as both
mailwrapper and /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail both use libutil.so.8:

minibsd8-dev:root/ # ldd /usr/sbin/mailwrapper
/usr/sbin/mailwrapper:
libutil.so.8 => /lib/libutil.so.8 (0x28083000)
libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x28090000)

Try reinstalling libutil from /usr/src/lib/libutil perhaps?

libutil's version was bumped to 9 with the removal of utmp, so if you did a
make delete-old after your most recent upgrade you'll have lost
libutil.so.8. Recompiling mail/ssmtp will make it link against the newer
library.

The strange thing is that I have libutil.9 and I've tried rebuilding
ssmtp and world and nothing is working... I was just wondering if
other people were seeing similar problems or if there's something
messed up on my system. Would seem to be my system - I'll have to look
around a bit more :(

Try:

rm /etc/make.conf
cd /usr/src/usr.bin/mailwrapper
make cleandir
make cleandir obj depend all
sudo make install

Found it - in src.conf I have WITHOUT_MAIL=true and that seems to
prevent mailwrapper from building at all. However, it seems this
option is a little buggy - shouldn't the old version have been deleted
when I did make delete-old? That would have made the problem more
obvious.

I agree, this is a bug...

Could you please file a PR so it wouldn't be forgotten? If nobody
works on it I'll create a patch when I have time.

For those who have interest, the corresponding file is
src/tools/build/mk/OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc.

Cheers,

I've filed PR #143571. I looked at making a patch but I'm not sure
what to do with /usr/sbin/sendmail - it is a symlink to mailwrapper.
I'm not sure if it should be outright deleted if building without
mailwrapper or if something more complex should be done to point it to
the actual sendmail binary.
