I accidently removed some files that postfix needs and now it will not install or uninstall have tried:
sudo apt-get purge postfix
sudo apt-get remove postfix
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install postfix
sudo apt-get autoremove postfix
sudo apt-get remore --auto-remove postfix
no matter what i do i always recieve the following error:
root@GitLab:/# sudo apt-get remove postfix
