Package: Mailscanner_4.37.7-1_all.deb Version: mailscanner_4.37.7-1_all.deb Repeatable: yes Severity: severe and persistant When I run apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade before having uninstalled mailscanner I got error messages similar to the one below which occurred after having uninstalled the previous mailscanner version:

The upgrade failed many times before uninstalling and attempting to do apt-get install mailscanner which also fails with the same error message. The debian user list cannot find a solution and suggests filing a bug report.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 and libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20. Thank you for your attention,
Leonard Chatagnier
