Summary:                    missing link if deinstalling SUNWsndmu
Description: 
on sparc S10, i got this error:
Can't exec "sendmail": No such file or directory at
/opt/csw/bin/logwatch.pl line 1017, <TESTFILE> line 3.
Can't execute sendmail -t: No such file or directory

CSWpostfix-2.9.4,REV=2012.09.19 is installed, and i removed SUNWsndmr
SUNWsndmu, as stated in /opt/csw/share/doc/postfix/README.CSW. The links
are ok:
fury # ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/newaliases /usr/bin/mailq
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          18 Jul 21 14:50 /usr/bin/mailq ->
/opt/csw/bin/mailq
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          22 Jul 21 14:50 /usr/lib/sendmail ->
/opt/csw/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          23 Jul 21 14:50 /usr/sbin/newaliases
-> /opt/csw/bin/newaliases

does it mean that it just lacks the link:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -> /opt/csw/sbin/sendmail

This is a logwatch problem, not a postfix problem. Logwatch should find
/usr/lib/sendmail which is the canonical path for sendmail on Solaris. The
fact that it worked with postfix having linked sendmail in /usr/sbin is
just coincidence.

I've released an updated logwatch that will prefer /usr/lib/sendmail by
default and thus work with any mailer.
