Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

The mail filtering page of the 9.10 server guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/mail-filtering.html) instructs the user to install a variety of archive handling utilities in an apt-get line but three (lha unrar rar) require multiverse to be enabled. A helpful note explaining that if those three are not found, multiverse needs to be enabled in your sources.list would be great. Despite being a pretty seasoned debian admin and no stranger to ubuntu this still took me a few minutes to figure that out and I thought I'd try to save others some time and newbies from worry or pulling out any hair.

Stephen, thanks for your report. Universe and Multiverse repositories are enabled by default on the Ubuntu Server version. Is this what you are using, or are converting a Desktop version install to be used as a server?
