I'm reaching for your help because I tried everything I knew and cannot fix my issue. If I'am trying to use "apt-get install / apt-get update / apt-get purge" I am getting the following error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
exim4 : Depends: exim4-daemon-light but it is not installed or
exim4-daemon-heavy but it is not installed or
exim4-daemon-custom but it is not installable
exim4-base : Depends: exim4-config (>= 4.82) but it is not installed or
exim4-config-2
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
Of course I tried to run 'apt-get -f install' but that just pointed me to this error:
apt-get -f install

Postfix configuration was not changed. If you need to make changes, edit
/etc/postfix/main.cf (and others) as needed. To view Postfix configuration
values, see postconf(1).
After modifying main.cf, be sure to run '/etc/init.d/postfix reload'.
