I am trying to setup mailscanner on ubuntu 16.04 lts using the install 
package at
https://s3.amazonaws.com/mailscanner/release/v4/deb/MailScanner-4.85.2-3.deb.tar.gz

During install I get the folow messages

Preparing to unpack .../mailscanner-4.85.2-3-noarch.deb ...
Unpacking mailscanner (4.85.2-3) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mailscanner:
  mailscanner depends on perl-modules (>= 5.8.7); however:
   Package perl-modules is not installed.
   Version of perl-modules on system, provided by perl-modules-5.22:all, 
is <none>.

dpkg: error processing package mailscanner (--install):
  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Installation Error

The MailScanner package failed to install. Address the required
dependencies and run the installer again.

Note that Perl modules need to be available system-wide. A
common issue is that missing modules were installed in a
user specific configuration.

If I do an apt-cache search perl-modules I get the following

libperl5.22 - shared Perl library
perl-base - minimal Perl system
perl-modules-5.22 - Core Perl modules
kamailio-perl-modules - Perl extensions and database driver for Kamailio
libnet-smtpauth-perl - Perl module that provides SMTP authentication 
(Net::SMTP_auth)

What do I do now?
