I installed Ubuntu 9.04_64 on three servers. I did not (as far as I understand) do anything to install exim because I am going to use postfix (for email gateways only). I did the exact same steps to install on each server. At "Choose Software to Install" I tabbed to "Continue" with NO blocks checked.
One server had four extra packages compared to the other two. They were all exim4 packages.
I did apt-get remove exim... on each of them. The files installed stayed in place. I then tried apt-get purge... and apt-get remove --purge and I kept being told they were not installed. Finally I removed all the files by hand.
apt-get clean had no complaints but dpkg -l still shows
rc exim4 4.69-9ubuntu1 metapackage to ease Exim MTA (v4) installati
rc exim4-base 4.69-9ubuntu1 support files for all Exim MTA (v4) packages
rc exim4-config 4.69-9ubuntu1 configuration for the Exim MTA (v4)
rc exim4-daemon-light 4.69-9ubuntu1 lightweight Exim MTA (v4) daemon
Can I clean this up or should I reinstall again?
Any idea how they could have been installed?
