Description:

Postfix 3.2.0-4 is missing grep dependency.

Additional info:

The omission does not seem to be fatal. Here is the log

> /usr/lib/postfix/bin/postfix-script: line 292: egrep: command not found
> postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by postfix: .
> postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by postfix: ./pid
> postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

I did not try i686 arch but should be identical.

Steps to reproduce:

1. uninstall grep package
2. install postfix package
3. configure postfix
4. postfix start
This task depends upon

Uninstalling packages in the base group isn't really supported. Many packages will have implicit deps on them; the maintainer can choose to add the dep or leave it out.

Exactly what Doug said. The base group is expected to be installed on *every* Arch system.
