Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify > a solution). @dan: I kept originally had my apt broken with "E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install'", and actually running that broke it (and ruined the next day for me..) Basically if you run it, you'll get your package manager back, and then you need to run dpkg -i --reinstall again on the 2.1.23 packages and you'll be good to go. If you try to do any apt-get dist-upgrade or install something that is related to sasl/postfix it WILL try to upgrade your sasl packages, do NOT do that or you'll break your system again.
It's better to be able to install other stuff that you need and not have a crippled system until a viable update is in place. Nothing worse than trying to setup software without apt because you're afraid to update :P best of luck -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875440 Title: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
