On submission of bug, get the following error message at top of page:

"Sofware Error: Insecure dependency in exec while running with -T switch at
/var/www/html/<bugzilla dir>/post_bug.cgi line 303"

This only occurs upon submission of new bug, updates work OK.

Also, mail does not get sent to assignee or cc's, and I believe it's related to
this problem.

NOTE: This installation seemed to work for a couple of days and a few bug
submissions, then developed this problem.  The only intervening change I made
was to add an additional alias for the Bugzilla directory in the httpd.conf file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add new bug
2. Submit new bug
3.

Actual Results:  
Get "Software Error: Insecure dependency in exec while running with -T switch at
/var/www/html/<bugzilla directory>/post_bug.cgi line 303."

Expected Results:  
"Bug Processed"

Are you sure you're running 2.16.4?  This was fixed in 2.16.4

Oops ... my bad; haven't used CVS in a while and didn't get the update installed
properly.  This is indeed fixed and thanks a bunch for the quick reply.
