Andreas,
When I try apt-get remove exim4, or apt-get autoremove or apt-get purge I
get:
Errors were encountered
while processing:
exim4-config
exim4-base
exim4-daemon-light
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I thought I would try Synaptic but got error:
Unable to install Synaptic Package Manager
Error while installing package.Installed exim4-config package
post-installation subprocess returned error exit status 1
