Well, yes, it's failing to install :) Kind of weird, that's what I
thought... But since I'm running Qmail on this system, and I receive
lots of mail with it, I just wanted to be sure it's wise to use to
--force-yes option with apt-get before i ruin everything. 

So I can go ahead and just force it to install ?
