I have installed debian 1.3.1 (stable) on my Pentium machine.
I cannot install 'nntp' server.
I have tried:
#dpkg -i nntp_1.5.12.1-1.deb
Selecting previously deselected package nntp.
(Reading database ... 81776 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking nntp (from nntp_1.5.12.1-1.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nntp:
nntp depends on cnews; however:
Package cnews is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing nntp (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
nntp
So I have tried to install cnews but it failed:
# dpkg -i cnews_cr.g7-4.deb
(Reading database ... 81795 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace cnews cr.g7-4 (using cnews_cr.g7-4.deb) ...
removed crontab.
Unpacking replacement cnews ...

I've Tried smail (or sendmail) to install first:
dpkg -i smail_3.2-3.deb
(Reading database ... 78820 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace smail 3.2-3 (using smail_3.2-3.deb) ...

Similarly dpkg -i sendmail...deb
Does anybody have some idea what's wrong with my debian (nntp, cnews) ?
Thanks in advance,
Jan Krupa
