uninstalling smail when a self compiled MTA is present
Hi!
After compiling my own exim 2.10, I'd like to remove smail that has
been installed on my system.
|=>ROOT<=@torres:/root # dpkg --purge smail
|dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of smail:
| mailagent depends on sendmail | smail | mail-transport-agent; however:
| Package sendmail is not installed.
| Package smail is to be removed.
| Package mail-transport-agent is not installed.
| Package smail which provides mail-transport-agent is to be removed.

|dpkg: error processing smail (--purge):
| dependency problems - not removing
|Errors were encountered while processing:
| smail
|=>ROOT<=@torres:/root #
How do I tell dpkg that mail-transport-agent is present even if I
uninstall smail and that I take responsibility?
Greetings
