dependency problems w/mailscanner

[Kevin MacNeil <k macneil verizon net>]

I'm using sendmail, procmail, spamassassin, mailscanner and clamav to
process incoming mail. Now apt is complaining about unmet perl
dependencies, even though I've already installed all of the required
modules through CPAN. I even tried to install the offending module
anyway, but according to rpm -q it doesn't seem to be getting installed.

Is there some way to tell mailscanner to forget about the perl rpms that
ship with it, since it doesn't need them anyway?


[root localhost MailScanner-4.23-10]# rpm -Uvh
perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl4.2.src.rpm

[root localhost MailScanner-4.23-10]# rpm -q perl-MIME-tools
package perl-MIME-tools is not installed

[root localhost MailScanner-4.23-10]# apt-get dist-upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mailscanner: Depends: perl-MIME-tools (>= 5.411) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
