IIRC from my reading the followup to some of these sysinstall PRs (possibly a little bit fuzzy), there is a general problem where sysinstall assumes the first port matching regex is to be installed. I believe the cited case was postfix. If this is the case, then wiring up logic just to fix the linux_base case isn't really fixing the general case. John, am I completely talking nonsense here? Clearly we don't want to have a list of this stuff hard-coded in sysinstall -- that's just begging for bitrot -- but I don't have any better suggestion at the moment. mcl
