Hi Lee, thank you for taking the time to file this bug report and help
us make Ubuntu better.

You seem to have a file on the system that is interfering with the
success of the post install script. Notice here:

Setting up courier-base (0.63.0-2.1ubuntu1) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/deliverquota.courier to provide 
/usr/bin/deliverquota (deliverquota) in auto mode.
update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/share/man/man5/maildir.5.gz 
is already managed by maildir.5.
dpkg: error processing courier-base (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

This is failing on this command:

        update-alternatives --install /usr/share/man/man5/maildir.5.gz
maildir.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/maildir.courier.5.gz 5

Please run

update-alternatives --list maildir.5

and

dpkg -S `update-alternatives --list maildir.5`

And paste them here.

The second command, btw, should list the package that owns the link in
error.

Marking Incomplete pending response from Lee.

** Changed in: courier (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
