I am having problems getting the dkim-filter package to install properly.

Tried this several times, using the ubuntu documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/mail-filtering.html

 on fresh 8.04 server install

My searches have not yielded anything helpful so I’m posting here.

Keep getting the following error after running the installation:

sudo apt-get install dkim-filter

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  dkim-filter

0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.
