Look into the "equivs" package; evidently you installed qmail from source? The problem is that there are many packages that have the dependency "mail-transport-agent" which exim satisfies (as would qmail). You can use equivs to tell the system that your locally installed qmail satisfies that dependency. BTW, there is a debian qmail-src package, you know, but I don't belive it provides the mta dependency, so you would still have to use equivs ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
