postfix-tls
 

I'm tryingto install postfix-tls

However, when I do, I get the following error message:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
postfix-tls: Depends: postfix (= 2.1.5-9)
E: Broken packages

>>
however, my postfix version is 2.2.3-2, so it shouldn't fail this dependency.

What happens when you run

Are you on Debian Sarge? How did you install Postfix? From the sources, as a Debian package, and if as a Debian package, where is it from (debian.org, backports.org, ...)?

My debian system has been updated from woody to what I believe is a sarge system. I'm a little new to debian.
I have installed postfix from debain packages using apt-get

I was following the sarge install howto and using it to set up my mail service.

If I do as you suggested, I get the following:

starbase:/etc/postfix# apt-get install postfix-tls postfix
Reading Package Lists... Done

postfix is already the newest version.

I uninstalled the packages and reinstalled and it worked.
