[Pkg-exim4-users] Catch 22 with installing compiled Exim4

[mark david mcCreary]

When I compile Exim from source, somewhere along the line
exim4-daemon-light seems to get installed to meet the mail transport
requirement.

So when I install the custom Exim package with Domainkeys support, I
get this error message.


dpkg: regarding exim4-daemon-custom_4.63-17_i386.deb containing 
exim4-daemon-custom:
 exim4-daemon-custom conflicts with mail-transport-agent
  exim4-daemon-light provides mail-transport-agent and is installed.
dpkg: error processing exim4-daemon-custom_4.63-17_i386.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing exim4-daemon-custom
Errors were encountered while processing:
 exim4-daemon-custom_4.63-17_i386.deb



If I do

apt-get remove exim4-daemon-light

then that installs exim4-daemon-heavy in it's place.

Then I can

apt-get remove exim4-daemon-heavy

and get things cleared out so I can then do

dpkg -i exim4-daemon-custom_4.63-17_i386.deb

Surely there has to be a better way, so if somebody wants to reply
with some clues, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
