Care to qualify your instructions.

On Hardy it took both.


Doesn't work in my copy of Hardy (see below).
Which versions
of mailx and mailutils do you have simultaneously
installed
Karl?

# apt-get --dry-run install mailx mailutils

mailx is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may
mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are
using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not
yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the
situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mailutils: Conflicts: mailx
E: Broken packages

What I did and worked was to get first mailx and
it installed fine.
Then I got mailutil and it loaded fine. Then I got
the pdf manual and it
is too old. It must be for an earlier software. I
found /etc/mail.rc
which is a control file. If you get that with mailx
then you might not
need mailutil.

Karl, on gutsy at least, mailx and mailutils are in
conflict. See apt show results below for me on gutsy:

Description: GNU mailutils utilities for handling mail
This package contains the GNU mailutils versions of
dotlock, frm, from guimb, mail, messages, mimeview,
movemail, readmsg and
sieve. They are capable of speaking POP3, IMAP, mbox,
MH and Maildir.

dotlock -- lock mail spool files.
frm -- display From: lines.
from -- display from and subject.
guimb -- process the contents of the specified
mailboxes using a Scheme
program or expression.
mail -- the standard /bin/mail interface, mail sender
and reader.
messages -- count the number of messages in a
mailbox.
mimeview -- display files, using mailcap mechanism.
movemail -- move messages across mailboxes.
readmsg -- extract selected messages from a mailbox.
sieve -- a mail filtering tool.

I can't install mailutils without uninstalling mailx
due to the conflict. I have mailx and exim4, etc
installed now.
