Bug Description

Binary package hint: sendfile

The "fetchfile" utility of sendfile does not work without pgpgpg, but it is not installed by default. The deb suggests pgp-i, but pgp-i does not exist in Karmic, and AFAICT it should really be at least a recommends.

See the log below..

--

john@john-laptop:~$ fetchfile -I

This is the init routine for fetchfile.
It will create the necessary pgp files and the spool directory.
You can press Ctrl-C at any time to stop this procedure.

User spool /var/spool/sendfile/john does not exist.
May I create local spool /home/john/.sfspool? y
What is the address of your SAFT server where you want to poll your files?
localhost

pgp will now be started to create a new sendfile-only key pair.
When asked, you can enter your normal e-mail address.

YOU MUST ENTER AN EMPTY PASS PHRASE, OR FETCHFILE WILL NOT WORK!

sh: pgp: not found
%fetchfile-Fatalerror: pgp call failed : No such file or directory

...

john@john-laptop:~$ apt-cache show sendfile | grep s:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libreadline5 (>= 5.2), openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver, perl | perl5
Suggests: pgp-i
