Sounds good, I will add that dependency.  However, it looks like I was mistaken.  Also depending on mailutils does not fix the issue with liblockfile installed and supplying the --without-x argument to configure.  Should both mailutils and liblockfile be added as dependencies?

In any case, it still seems like there is a problem with the configure script.  Shouldn't it be finding the installed maillock.h and be able to link against the lockfile shared library?

Thanks,
