just like in Mike's case, there still seem to be some problems with
MIME-Base64 on MailScanner4.34.8-4 on Fedora Core 2.

When installing MailScanner there is a message saying "I have to force MIME-
Base64. Sorry.". After the installation finishes the dependency problem is
still there. The report from apt-get looks like that:

****************************************************************
[root at flox MailScanner-4.34.8-4]# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  perl: Obsoletes: perl-MIME-Base64 but 3.03-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
****************************************************************


Then, once trying apt-get -f install here is the output.

****************************************************************
[root at flox MailScanner-4.34.8-4]# apt-get -f install

The following packages will be REMOVED:
   perl-MIME-Base64 (3.03-1)

Thank you for your help in advance.
