Hi,

I use that option too on APT systems, I expect that's quite common.
The nmh package in Debian's Testing depends on 'libsasl2-2 >=
2.1.27+dfsg2'. https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/nmh
The modules package's description says
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libsasl2-modules
This package provides the following SASL modules: LOGIN, PLAIN,
ANONYMOUS, NTLM, CRAM-MD5, and DIGEST-MD5 (with DES support).
Ken, Can nmh make any use of libsasl2-2 without libsasl2-modules also
being installed? If not, then I wonder if nmh should depend on
libsasl2-modules instead of, or as well as, libsasl2-2 as otherwise it's
too easy for Debian users to have a needless installation of libsasl2-2
which also lures them into thinking all's well..
If libsasl2-2 is useful to nmh without libsasl2-modules then perhaps
nmh's package description should mention the extra package which is
required for authentication in this way.
