Re: NB package screw up

["Tony TJ Previte" <speak@tjprevite.com>]

Thanks for all the help guys.

One thing in my favor was this was a remote machine, so I installed the 
applicable packages on my local machine, replaced the missing config 
files the script was looking for, and then ran the apt-get install 
<package> --reinstall on the 3 courier components, then removed all 
with out a hitch.    phew!

Won't do that again  :)
