Hi everyone, sorry to bother you.

I just made a huge mistake and blew away everything in /etc/exim4/

I have tried for several hours now to get the packages reinstalled,
but I can't get it to work.  If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly
appreciate it.  I removed all of the following:

exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light

Now, I can't get them to go back in.  I get this error:

tigris:/etc/exim4# apt-get install exim4
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
  exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
Suggested packages:

  exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light

How can I do anything about the config files if exim4-config won't
even install without them already present?

This is so frustrating.

Please CC me on the reply - I'm not subscribed.
