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 -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

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... Done The following extra packages will be installed: exim The following packages will be REMOVED: postfix The following NEW packages will be installed: exim 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 removed and 53 not upgraded. Need to get 942kB of archives. After unpacking 1325kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] ********************** I added postfix to apt.conf as you suggested. Then it insisted I remove postfix and postfixconfig. I allowed that and everything went smoothly.

???? Did you remove postfix, while you did not want to remove postfix? Or is this a typo in your email?? Is this correct, or as expected; # apt depends postfix postfix-2.0.19_20040312-11 ............ Conflicts: sendmail Conflicts: exim # apt depends exim exim-4.30-25.2 ......... Conflicts: sendmail Conflicts: <sendmail-tls> Conflicts: postfix # apt rdepends postfix postfix Reverse Depends: sendmail exim # apt rdepends exim exim Reverse Depends: postfix # apt install exim Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: postfix The following NEW packages will be installed: exim 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 removed and 26 not upgraded. Need to get 1004kB of archives. Do you have another package that requires exim? If so that package may mess up your rpmdb. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
