Results were poor.  Here's part of what I got.  Unfortunately, I don't know what
it takes to do the "configuration" that seems required.


Setting up xfsprogs (2.6.20-1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-base:
 ubuntu-base depends on at; however:
  Package at is not configured yet.
 ubuntu-base depends on mailx; however:
  Package mailx is not configured yet.
 ubuntu-base depends on mutt; however:
  Package mutt is not configured yet.
 ubuntu-base depends on postfix; however:
  Package postfix is not configured yet.
 ubuntu-base depends on postfix-tls; however:
  Package postfix-tls is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing ubuntu-base (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
