I've freshly installed Postfix on a new working Arch machine & when I tried to start Postfix for the 1st time, I get this error message:
[root@mail postfix]# /etc/rc.d/postfix start
/etc/rc.d/postfix: line 6: pgrep: command not found
I then used 'vim' to look at the script it's complaining about /etc/rc,d/postfix:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions
PID=`pgrep -f /usr/lib/postfix/master`
Obviously it doesn't like the 'pgrep' command but I don't understand why. I have 'grep' installed and Pacman installed all required dependencies for the Postfix 2.8.1-1 package. Is this a bug with the package that I should notify the maintainer about or is my system missing something for what ever reason?

Do you have procps installed?

No I do not. I just checked. Shouldn't Pacman detect dependencies and install them as needed? I thought that was the point of a package management system, no?

I think the assumption is that packages from core will always be installed

procps is part of 'base' and should almost universally be installed.... You are correct though, postfix should probably depend on it.
This is the point of a bug tracker, to report problems when you find them, no?
