Had a problem with Postfix. I was altering some of the default values to the ones that I prefer myself. For some reason when I re-started it an error message came up on the screen which didn't make a lot of sense. To cut a long story short I thought it might be better to re-install postfix. Tried it and this is what came back......

How do I get out of this and re-install postfix ? Tried --fix-missing and that doesn't work either. Also tried changing the sources.list to unstable and cutting out the security updates line. Any help greatly appreciated. No mail system just now and I'm having to use Mozilla mail instread.
Thanks
Richard
