Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

From my analysis, the nagios2 package depends on nagios2-common, which depends on mailx, so everything should be alright.

I'll mark this bug Invalid, feel free to reopen it if you think it has not been solved properly.

Changed in nagios2:
