Hi.
1. Does there exist an APT mailing list?
2. I was installing the exim backports version, when I got a debconf
error message:
Preconfiguring packages ...
Installed debconf version is broken. Aborting preconfigure.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to fix debconf?
TIA,

Apt per se is not meant to do this. Apt-get install

If so, where should I get apt and how do I install it?

Normally when i'm installing stuff, I su to root in an Xterm and use apt or

Any time you log in as a user different than the one who owns the X
session you have to set the variable DISPLAY. so next time you su to
root simply: export DISPLAY=:0 or whatever you run your X on.
