Looks like your config is broken from a previous apt-get run. > Need to get 1820kB of archives.

Something is broken with your hostname lshih. I know nothing about postfix, you might want to ask what to do on debian-user. > dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure): > subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 >From here on everything is broken, because of the problem with postfix. You see, postfix is a MTA (mail transport agent) and the other three packages you want to set up (mutt, elm-me+, vm) need an MTA to work properly. Because postfix is not configured properly, they stop working. > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mutt: > mutt depends on exim | mail-transport-agent; however: > Package exim is not installed. > Package mail-transport-agent is not installed. > Package postfix which provides mail-transport-agent is not configured yet. > dpkg: error processing mutt (--configure): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of elm-me+: > elm-me+ depends on mail-transport-agent; however: > Package mail-transport-agent is not installed. > Package postfix which provides mail-transport-agent is not configured yet. > dpkg: error processing elm-me+ (--configure): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of vm: > vm depends on smail | sendmail | mail-transport-agent; however: > Package smail is not installed. > Package sendmail is not installed. > Package mail-transport-agent is not installed. > Package postfix which provides mail-transport-agent is not configured yet. > dpkg: error processing vm (--configure): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured > Setting up lprng (3.7.4-4) ... > Starting printer spooler: dpkg: error processing lprng (--configure): > subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 This is funny, because there is no real error message here.
