You're better off rebuilding from the source provided at nfgd.net Add a deb-src line echo 'deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian stable main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list cd /usr/src apt-get build-dep dbmail apt-get source -b dbmail should pretty much do the trick. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
