Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: courier-authdaemon
My friend recently upgraded to Edgy Eft (6.10) and has encountered a
problem with the courier-authdaemon package. It doesn't want to upgrade
or remove and (dist-)upgrade also doesn't work anymore because it tells
us to -f install first, but as you can see below, that just causes more
errors.
I ssh'ed into my friends computer to try and fix the problem, but it
seems like something is horribly broken. See here:
