Hi, I am unable to reproduce issue. Can you send me server login details so that I can debug issue. Send me in private message.

#5

How do I do a private message? Cannot find how to do this

#6

If you want to further investigate this, I can give you access to my server if you provide an ssh key, but I have decided to create a new server for various reasons. The new one I am currently setting up is allowing the mail packages to install.

#7

Hi, If your server is still running you can add my ssh-key:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDCfqNgxTMHWZSg+hDh3lsGPYQ9DH2mQo0zvrpyXtP5sBtk/w8pcJsPrB3LOTlVbhRVdHdR2thTHVtubSe3eg50UiCO7uXmnpU7OM0PX1JcYWWAw5dgDOxDxucHbPqJBKPtFH9Exf2+4+/h78m/Hg3XOfceYuzaYIaIkUhFG3/8/ah8+MXBvgc5IP7v7EKJIwfgFnWAec1wQBB/+G8+YAL8JR1QAtGkdAULo9lsI048M11/bQxWqTkDPHD6hCKhcseRZ5bV/IKeCZsB45GZrn2AtU2auQi2OSVBk/TOb/hlroPNj9m0BfliddlKiZms0qIxWgkMvorheOjLKXkDO5AB [email protected]

And send here user name and IP address here

#8

Is there any more information regarding this issue?

When I try and install mail stack I get

 Unable to install Dovecot, exit status =  100

and if I try and remove I get

Unable to Remove user vmail, exit status =  2

or when trying to purge mail I get

Unable to Remove user vmail, exit status =  2
