package errors when using apt

[Tim Jordan <tim@pcs-alaska.com>]

Hello everyone,
I have a Debian server (testing) running qmail that I installed from the 
qmailrocks.org site.

unfortunately I have screwed up the Exim4 install in the process of 
setting up qmail.  I really don't need Exim4 but I do need MySQL.  I 
have found that without mailx I cannot install MySQL.

If someone could point me in the right direction for cleaning up the 
errors below I would really appreciate it. 

This appears every time I install or upgrade packages.

Thank you,
Tim
