Sorry, there isn't enough here to warrant considering this a bug in
exim4.

Title:
  Cannot use apt-get because of error in
  exim4-base_4.76-3ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “exim4” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  For quite some time I'm struggling with an issue with apt-get. I cannot install (update or remove) any packages using apt-get. Every time i try to do so, apt-get tells me to do:
  > apt-get -f install
  which i do but this doesn't help. I get the same error
  > post-removal script returned error code (1)
  > dpkg error /var/cache/apt/archives/exim4-base_4.76-3ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb (--unpack)
  It says something about the lack of apport program, last error: reached limit of MaxReports

  I updated source.list to the official ones:
  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted
  deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted
  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted
  deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted

  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise multiverse
  deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise multiverse
  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates multiverse
  deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates multiverse

  deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner
  deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner
  (before I had my host mirrors set)
   
  I updated using:
  apt-get update

  And i event removed the archive file:
  /var/cache/apt/archives/exim4-base_4.76-3ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb

  This is definitely a security feature because if something happens and
  i need a security update or to install a new package i'm blocked.

  Thank you for your help in advance.
  I will be happy to help in any way i can!
