    Maybe this got overlooked or maybe there's not much knowledge out there
    regarding mailscanner. Sure
    would like this issue resolved so I could get to setting up virus
    scanning protection or perhaps there is an-
    other way to run a virus scanning utility. New reply's are welcome.
    Thanks

    Although I've tried all the posted suggestions, I still can't reinstall
    Mailscanner. I have been able
    to uninstall it, however. I still get error messages when I do an
    apt-get install mailscanner, even
    though doing an "apt-get --purge remove mailscanner"(says mailscanner
    not installed, so not removed),
    an "apt-get update" and "apt-get -f install" beforehand shows no
    errors. I will appreciate any help I get
    on this longstanding problem. The error output from "apt-get install
    mailscanner" is shown below:
