MailScanner when removed leaves script in cron.daily
Hi Steve,
It returns No packages found matching mailscanner.
I manually removed the remaining elements the other day though. I don't
know if this has cause dpkg to return nothing. Sorry, my experience is
with RPM, not DEB.

If you removed the mailscanner.* files underneath /var/lib/dpkg/info,
then that would be consistent with what dpkg -l said. If you didn't,
mailscanner has been purged already and needs to be fixed, and if you
did, then you just needed to purge mailscanner which you did by hand.

MailScanner
What output does dpkg -l mailscanner return? If the first two letters
are 'rc', then mailscanner is removed, but not completely. To remove it
completely (or purge it), run 'sudo dpkg -P mailscanner' in a
terminal.
