Just had these packages fail to install when upgrading to Hardy (final
release). The upgrade showed these:
could not install 'exim4-config'
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
could not install 'exim4-base'
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
could not install 'exim4-daemon-light'
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
could not install 'exim4'
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Afterward I ran from a terminal 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and got this:
