    Which distribution do you use? What's in /etc/apt/sources.list?

    hi falko,

    Sorry for my late reply! Have been really busy for the last two days!

    I'm using Debian Testing (etch)

    And this is the contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list
    Code:
    deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main
    deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ etch main
    
    deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main

    I always use Sarge, so that may be your problem. However, you can try
    Code:
    apt-get update
    and try to install sasl2-bin again.

    Do you think restarting will help?

    Maybe you should consider a reinstall, this time with Sarge.
