Postfix Upgrade Problem
Hi
Had a problem with Postfix. I was altering some of the default values
to the ones that I prefer myself. For some reason when I re-started it
an error message came up on the screen which didn't make a lot of sense.
To cut a long story short I thought it might be better to re-install
postfix. Tried it and this is what came back......

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
postfix: Depends: postfix-ldap (= 1.1.11-0.woody3) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

How do I get out of this and re-install postfix ? Tried --fix-missing
and that doesn't work either. Also tried changing the sources.list to
unstable and cutting out the security updates line. Any help greatly
appreciated. No mail system just now and I'm having to use Mozilla
mail instread.
Thanks
Richard
