The dkp instructions in

	/var/lib/dpkg/info/sendmail/postinst

are incorrect regarding the paths to config stuff:



:A configuration development tree has been installed in
:/usr/src/sendmail.cf.  The files you need to edit are in the cf
:subdirectory (/usr/src/sendmail.cf/cf) and they end with a `.mc'
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/usr/src/sendmail.cf/cf/cf

:extension. The actual configuration file produced with `make' will be in
:/usr/src/sendmail.cf/cf/obj. It will have the same name as the mc file, but
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/usr/src/sendmail.cf/cf/cf/obj

:with a `.cf' extension. The file README_CF.gz, located in /usr/doc/sendmail,
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
(doesn't exist)

:contains information on editing these files. If you can, print it out so you
:can refer to it while you make your changes. (Don't forget to `gunzip' it.)

:This distribution includes a few example configuration files. You should
:find the one that matches your site closest and copy it to the file
:deb-local.mc (this way you don't destroy the example). When you finish editing
:deb-local.mc, simply type `make deb-local.cf' and your configuration file
:will be created and placed in /usr/src/sendmail/cf/obj/deb-local.cf . When
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/usr/src/sendmail.cf/cf/cf/obj/deb-local.cf

:you are sure that the configuration file is okay, copy it to /etc/sendmail.cf
:and restart sendmail.
