Hi everyone,
i am updating my server on a regular base using the following command

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade


Now the following error comes up every time:

apt-get upgrade

dpkg: error processing sasl2-bin (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Have a look here (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/) for what SASL is.

Maybe try removing the package with

apt-get remove sasl2-bin

and reinstalling with

apt-get install sasl2-bin


Or try a

apt-get --reinstall install sasl2-bin
#or
apt-get -f --reinstall install sasl2-bin
