Depend. problem with apt-get
I am new to Debian and am trying to setup a mail server. I never had
sendmail on my system, but had to remove exim with "dpkg --purge
--force-depends exim". Then I successfully compiled and installed qmail from
source. Following that I tried to install courier, but I got a bunch of
errors from apt. Here they are;
gw2k:~# apt-get install courier-imap-ssl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
at: Depends: mail-transport-agent
courier-imap-ssl: Depends: exim or
mail-transport-agent
Depends: courier-imap (>= 1.3.7-3) but it is not going
to be installed
Depends: courier-ssl (>= 0.37.3) but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: openssl but it is not going to be installed
mailagent: Depends: sendmail but it is not going to be installed or
smail but it is not going to be installed or
mail-transport-agent
mailx: Depends: mail-transport-agent
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify
a solution).
How do I tell apt I do have a MTA, which is qmail?
Thanks for the help,
Mike
