RE: 'irradicating' a package?
Its failing because you need somekind of MTA. You could install say sendmail or postfix, that will remove the exim package you have installed because they confict, then you reinstall the official exim package. dpkg --purge package If this is failing, give us more info. argus:/etc/exim# dpkg --purge exim dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of exim: at depends on mail-transport-agent; however: Package mail-transport-agent is not installed. Package exim which provides mail-transport-agent is to be removed. mailx depends on mail-transport-agent; however: Package mail-transport-agent is not installed. Package exim which provides mail-transport-agent is to be removed. dpkg: error processing exim (--purge): dependency problems - not removing Errors were encountered while processing: exim argus:/etc/exim# -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

irradicating a package?
Tried a customized deb of a package (Exim), decided that it wasn't all that I wanted so I want to replace it with a stock Exim.. But I cant seem to make apt-get and/or dpkg to understand that? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dpkg --force-depends --purge exim Use this only when you KNOW for CERTAIN this is safe. In the case of exim your machine will not fall over and die because it is missing a mail server. Warning heeded.. But that, along with apt-get install exim, did the trick just nicely, thankyou. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
