amavisd-new stable backport - installation failure
Hello.
I'm trying to installed amavisd-new on a Woody-based server from the
source:
deb http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/BACKPORTS woody-amavisd-new main
However, installation always fails. Here's my output:
brickwall:/home/ADMIN/admin# apt-get install !$
apt-get install amavisd-new

dpkg: error processing amavisd-new (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:

This is consistent - even if I apt-get remove and try again, or if I
manually clear away any files placed, it still happens. The actual
contents of /etc/amavis are two directories - en_US and pt_BR. No
config file.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance for any information,
Ian
