[gull] dpkg & dependencies

[Daniel Cordey]

Je tombe sur une situation interessante. A la base, j'ai cherche a remplacer 
exim4 par sendmail. J'ai donc enleve exim4 et je me suis apercu qu'il y avait 
d'autres packages comme 'exim4-daemon-light' qui subsistaient. En essayant 
d'enlever ce package, je me heurte a quelque chose que je trouve assez 
comique. J'ai l'impression de me trouver en situation de "dead-lock". Comment 
se sortir d'une telle situation ?
