Hi,

I installed MailScanner (4.68.8-1) and it was working fine for a while,
untill I re-booted.  Then it would not start.  After re-installing a
bunch of perl modules via cpan, I finally got everything working again
BUT There is only one lingering problem now:

# apt-get install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up mailscanner (4.68.8-1) ...
Checking/installing report files ...
invoke-rc.d: initscript mailscanner, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mailscanner (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mailscanner
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


It seems that it is half installed, but like I said, MailScanner is
working fine right now.  What should I do about it?  I am a bit new to
Ubuntu, so any help I can get is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
rick
