Okay... next time instead of attaching the file to a message, better 
uplaod the output to "www.pastebin.com" or similar service :-)

Mmm... yes, I see there some packages installed in desktop that are not 
present in laptop (and this is the normal behaviour because -as you point 
out- different hardware triggers the installation of different 
packages... and each package also triggers the installation of another 
packages -as dependencies or recommendations- and so on). 

So most probably "exim4" comes as a requirement to fulfill for a package 
installed in desktop but not present in laptop.
