    Hello.

    I'm trying to installed amavisd-new on a Woody-based server from the
    source:
    deb http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/BACKPORTS woody-amavisd-new main

    However, installation always fails. Here's my output:

    brickwall:/home/ADMIN/admin# apt-get install !$
    apt-get install amavisd-new
    Reading Package Lists... Done

    dpkg: error processing amavisd-new (--configure):
      subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    Errors were encountered while processing:
      amavisd-new
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    This is consistent - even if I apt-get remove and try again, or if I
    manually clear away any files placed, it still happens. The actual
    contents of /etc/amavis are two directories - en_US and pt_BR. No
    config file.

    Any clues?

    Thanks in advance for any information,
    Ian
