Thanks, but that is impossible so I fixed it.

1. Create a /etc/init.d/postfix with 4 blank lines
2. aptitude purge postfix
3. aptitude clean

voila it now installs...

I think this action will help others to overcome hangover problems therefore a fresh install is not necessary anymore.

Kind regards

Just run the install and it has exited with the following messages

Errors were encountered while processing:

postfix-pcre
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Installation failed, please check the terminal output

I originally tried a postfix courier-imap install but removed all postfix and courier-imap I could find so that the machine was clean...
MySQL already installed for ZoneMinder as is PHP5 and Apache2.

Please could someone advise me on what steps I need to take to complete the installation?
Thanks and kind regards,
