>Description:
After the install process the newaliases is not run
automatically, and because of that the send-pr fails when
trying to send the mail:
a)bort, e)dit or s)end? s
hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file /etc/aliases: No such file or directory
send-pr: mysterious mail failure.
send-pr: the problem report remains in /tmp/pbad9292 and is not sent.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the system and try to send-pr without running
newaliases manually.
>Fix:
Add conditional running of newaliases to /etc/rc, so it will
be done if no aliases.db file exists or if the aliases is
newer than aliases.db.
