qmail-installer is currently unmaintained... I will try to find someone to fix it.

I have the same problem and am looking for the solution as well. It seems to be in the Make file.
Comment by joshua (jaminadi) - Thursday, 30 September 2004, 01:57 GMT
Solution found! The make file calls the head & tail functions that have since been upgraded so they fail to function. 90 some odd lines need to be changed, I will make a patch file to fix this and post in attachments.

The attached File, Head_Tail_082004.patch will fix qmail.
Upload the patch to
..abs/local/qmail/src
and change
..abs/local/qmail/PKGBUILD patch file section from

patch -p1 << ../ext_todo-20030105.diff

--to-->

patch -p1 << ../ext_todo-20030105.patch
patch -p1 << ../head_tail_patch.patch

If you have fun qmail before, do the following after the above fix

cd ..abs/local/qmail/
rm -rf src/qmail-{ver#}
makepkg

Try this, it works on my machine.

okay, One last comment.
I diff'ed in haste, and hadn't installed the first patch....so
change

patch -p1 << ../ext_todo-20030105.patch
patch -p1 << ../head_tail_patch.patch

--to-->

patch -p1 << ../ext_todo-20030105.patch
patch -p1 << ../head_tail_patch.patch
patch -p1 << ../ext_todo-20030105.patch

to Add the old patch, have it removed by mine, and then readded. I will have to make a new Diff file if noone else has the time for it.

Well...The patch file was useless. they have now Fixed the 'head' and 'tail' problems in the latest release of Coreutils. The package works as is now.
