I'm not looking for someone to solve this for me but instead to point me
in a direction so that I can learn how to fix such problems. Please
advise if possible...
Thank you, Tim
Running Debian Testing I installed qmail and removed exim4 from my
system. Then later I wanted to add MySQL server. Problem is I can't
because somehow I hosed the mailx package which MySQL depends on. Here
is what I'm getting anytime I try to install or upgrade packages, I've
tried to make it clean to read:
mail:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
libxine1
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
5 not fully installed or removed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
