Bug Description

Binary package hint: ytnef

The ytnef-filter script in the ytnef package uses 'file' to deduct the type of the attachments. The dependency list in ytnef does not list the 'file' package.

ytnef-filter reads from stdin a MIME email and print out a new MIME formatted email with TNEF attachments decoded. The attachments should have a proper Content-Type field. However, when 'file' is missing, ytnef-filter will also output an error message and all attachments will end up 'application/binary'.

Checking in the online package repository, it seems that all ubuntu releases so far are missing the dependency.

                        $filetype = `file -bi $qfile`;

gutsy is going EOL in two months, and this is not a critical fix, thus we won't fix that in gutsy.

ytnef in hardy-proposed confirmed as fixed.

In 2.6-1 from hardy, ytnef does not have 'file' as a dependency. In 2.6-1ubuntu0.0.8.04 from hardy-proposed, it does have the file dependency and installs without issue.
