I have a custom compiled postfix. I'm running apt-get the first time on my server and it insists it has to delete postfix. I don't want to touch that program. I've looked through all the man pages.
Why does it want it to remove it? Does it tell you why?
How do I get it to update my system and NOT delete postfix?
Did you install it, using an rpm by source? From where did you get it?
Anyway try 'apt --hold postfix ...' on the command line, or put rpm::hold::=postfix in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/apt.conf
OK, that worked, thanks. My original error was: yoda:/home/jim/apt # apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies...

Then it insisted I remove postfix and postfixconfig. I allowed that and everything went smoothly.
