install mailscanner on un-buntu 7.10

[Mohammed Alli]

Well I'm currently using Ubuntu 7.10 with MailScanner v4.58.9.  I am
tempted to do an upgrade using the deb package, but heard that it
installs it to /opt.  If there was a way to upgrade without installing
to the /opt directory, I think we would be good to go.

I like to have the same install route as if we were doing an apt-get
install.  Can that be done with the .deb package, even if it's from a
fresh install?

I am not certain. I could upgrade tonight and let you know. I am running
ubuntu 8.04 and still need to "patch" after a complete distribution
upgrade. I just looked and my version is 4.58.9-2ubuntu1. I never
checked the version I just assumed it would be up to date :-(. Guess
that is what I get for taking the easy route ... Apt-get install
mailscanner

Does this apply to the latest version of MailScanner?
The latest Ubuntu version appears to be 4.58, which is well over 1 year
old!
No wonder it doesn't work with the latest versions of everything else
:-( Great, they include my software, but never actually test that their
build works :-(

I am about to test the 8.04 release to see if this fixes the problem.
