I have been trying to install send mail recently(I have been using postfix with mailutils previously) and the first time I tried to install it, it took all night than I canceled it in the morning and said :
dpkg: error processing package sendmail-bin (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script was interrupted
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of sensible-mda:
sensible-mda depends on sendmail-bin | mail-transport-agent; however:
Package sendmail-bin is not configured yet.
Package mail-transport-agent is not installed.
Package sendmail-bin which provides mail-transport-agent is not configured yet.
Package postfix which provides mail-transport-agent is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package sensible-mda (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of sendmail:
sendmail depends on sendmail-bin; however:
Package sendmail-bin is not configured yet.
sendmail depends on sensible-mda; however:
Package sensible-mda is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing package sendmail (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
sendmail-bin
sensible-mda
sendmail
Using dpkg --configure -a does not solve the problem. It only brings up the same errors.
