SFTP and SCP are part of SSH and offer encrypted file transfers. As you can probably tell, there are packages missing which sendmail depends on. I don't know why this might be the case. You can run apt-get update to refresh your repository cache to see if it fixes your problem, otherwise it might be a mistake on behalf of the package or repository maintainers. No you don't, which is probably a good thing as Sendmail can be a bit of a horror show to configure, though thankfully most distributions configure their mail daemons to send locally generated mail only out of the box which suits your needs perfectly. The reason you don't need Sendmail is that most MTAs are 'Sendmail compatible' which means they provide the standard features and commands that Sendmail provided which other programs rely upon, so you can use an MTA which has Sendmail compatibility and let Drupal think you're using Sendmail. Take a look at Postfix or Exim instead of Sendmail. Apt will install package dependencies from it's repositories if they're there. In this case they're not. Why not is down to a combination of making sure your repos are up to date and the package maintainers themselves. In this case I'd guess that one or other is at fault. Take a backup, no sarcasm intended :) Regards, Adam Sweet - -- http://blog.adamsweet.org/
