Bug#621836: exim4: Could not perform immediate configuration

[Slavko]

Package: exim4
Severity: impotant
Version: 4.72-6

I have postfix installed, when i want replace it with exim4, the
aptitude proper selects postfix to remove, but installation fails with
error:

E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'exim4-daemon-light'.
Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details.

Using option "-o APT::Immediate-Configure=0" don't helps.

IMHO, it must be possible simple replace the other MTAs by installing
exim4, actually i did it installed by these steps:

dpkg -i exim4-base_4.72-6_amd64.deb  exim4-config_4.72-6_all.deb exim4-daemon-light_4.72-6_amd64.deb  exim4_4.72-6_all.debexim4 exim4-daemon-light exim4-config

which fails with dependencies error. after this i force remove postfix:

dpkg --force-all -r postfix

and now is exim4 installable and i end installation by running:

aptitude install
