SETUP::
aptitude install exim4-base- exim4-config- exim4-daemon-light-
courier-mta courier-base courier-authdaemon courier-authlib
courier-authlib-userdb bsd-mailx
REPRODUCE BUG::
aptitude install exim4-daemon-light courier-mta- courier-base-
courier-authdaemon- courier-authlib- courier-authlib-userdb-
UGLY LOCAL FIX::
sed -i'' 's/exit \$?/exit 0/'
/var/lib/dpkg/info/courier-authdaemon.prerm
aptitude install -f
In order to reproduce the bug bsd-mailx must be installed. bsd-mailx depends on
a mail-transport-agent which is provided by courier-mta.
On deinstallation (with bsd-mailx installed) courier-authlib is removed
first, if bsd-mailx is installed. However courier-authdaemon depends on
courier-authlib (which ships /usr/sbin/courierlogger) and cannot be
installed anymore.
/usr/sbin/courierlogger is called (via authdaemond) from the
courier-authdaemon.prerm skript. The policy requires that all programms
called from courier-authdaemon.prerm are still installed.
Thus for me it seems that aptitude is not deinstalling the packages in the
right order. If bsd-mailx is installed the order is::
remove courier-authlib 0.63.0-2 0.63.0-2
remove courier-mta 0.65.0-1 0.65.0-1
remove courier-base 0.65.0-1 0.65.0-1
remove courier-authdaemon 0.63.0-2 0.63.0-2
which then breaks.

Moritz
