dpkg problems

[Scott Howell]

Sorry folks I'm using two different matchines to read and respond to 
mail. I have a very borken Exim on the problem box so this is getting 
fun.
I did as Cheryl suggested and forgot to mention that apt-get -f install 
did the following. First when I ran apt-get install exim4 which was the 
offending pkg, I got

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  at: Depends: mail-transport-agent
  exim4: Depends: exim4-base (>= 4.34) but it is not going to be 
installed
         Depends: exim4-daemon-light but it is not going to be installed 
or
                  exim4-daemon-heavy but it is not going to be installed 
or
                  exim4-daemon-custom but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or 
specify a solution

when I run apt-get -f install no package name

Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light
Suggested packages:
  eximon4 exim4-doc-html exim4-doc-info
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light

Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `Debian-exim' in statusoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

So there ya go and this is where I'm stuck. I am sure there's a fix 
here, but I'm not seeing it.

tnx and keep those suggestions coming, I am sure one will fix this 
mess.<grin> then I'll stop breaking stuff.hahah
