You almost certainly need to be doing a dist-upgrade here first, before trying to install the etch version of base-config on a sarge system, or else specifying on the commandline that you want both base-config and exim4-daemon-heavy to be installed. I'm not closing this bug just yet because experience with sarge showed us that excessive conflicts could be a source of problems when upgrading between stable releases, so this may warrant further investigation. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
