Sorry folks I'm using two different matchines to read and respond to
mail. I have a very borken Exim on the problem box so this is getting

offending pkg, I got
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
at: Depends: mail-transport-agent
exim4: Depends: exim4-base (>= 4.34) but it is not going to be

Depends: exim4-daemon-light but it is not going to be installed
or
exim4-daemon-heavy but it is not going to be installed

Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
Suggested packages:
eximon4 exim4-doc-html exim4-doc-info
The following NEW packages will be installed:

mess.<grin> then I'll stop breaking stuff.hahah
