Bug Description

Binary package hint: courier-pop

I recently (yesterday) ran:
"sudo aptitude install courier-imap courier-imapd-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl"
and I encountered the same problem... so I googled it... and didn't find anything for it... and then I had supper and completley forgot about it. But then today, "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" and the same errors show up.
I ran the install command after having run "sudo aptitude purge courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-pop courier-pop-ssl" since the reinstall command wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. And at the install I get the errors attached at the end of this report.
Cheers,
Ryan
PS: Sorry if I'm not too clear... I'll try to fill in as much information to any questions you might have.
