Hello, I installed Ubuntu 8.04 using the howto forge perfect server tutorial. I also installed request tracker 3.6 using apt-get. It installed fine but it ended up installing exim. Now when I try to install postfix, it gives me the following: Code: root@it:/# apt-get install postfix libsasl2-2 sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules procmail Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done libsasl2-2 is already the newest version. libsasl2-modules is already the newest version. The following extra packages will be installed: db4.6-util Suggested packages: mail-reader postfix-cdb postfix-ldap postfix-mysql postfix-pcre postfix-pgsql resolvconf The following packages will be REMOVED: exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light The following NEW packages will be installed: db4.6-util postfix procmail sasl2-bin 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Is there a way I can remove it as a dependency so I can uninstall it and replace it with postfix?
What happens when you add the request tracker package to the Code: apt-get install postfix libsasl2-2 sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules procmail line?
Thanks for the reply! I actually wasn't able to try that . I removed request tracker and then did /etc/init.d/exim start and then apt-get exim4 remove and then I installed postfix and courier using the howtoforge perfect setup. Then to install request tracker I did aptitude install request-tracker3.6 and it set it up just fine. The apt-get remove requesttracker3.6 did not remove the config file or the database. Now I just have to figure out how to get it to listen on pop3 so request tracker can accept and send emails. thanks!
Hi folks, I'm also getting in trouble with Exim and don't seem to get it to work… Each time I try to install Postfix it has issues with exim4-daemon-light & exim4-base… Code: apt-get install postfix libsasl2-2 sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules procmail Paketlisten werden gelesen...

The upgrade would only start with a "do-release-upgrade -d", but other than that it went smooth… Anyone an idea? Cheers
