Bug Description

After I install qmail app (packages and code) now everytime I start my Computer, in the main menu, where you choose user to start session, there are like 6 or 7 qmail (ghost) users and one named Alias.
I also got the message box "there was an internal problem with an app you recently installed", I assume is qmail.
I also have an lsb/release error poping up lately.

I think it has something to do with the fact that I delete qmail and after delete it I proceed to install Exim4 (both are used to control SCP and SSH connections).
I guess that by uninstalling qmail (with Software Centre) would be the end of the story but now I can see there are still some qmail "broken packages" somewhere in my computer.
I will try to get rid of them by using Sweeper app.

I'm using ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04 LTS

Cheers!

Cesar

Remove qmail packages by using Synaptic Package Manager (mark for complete removal) all packages: "qmail, qmail-tools, qmail-runs, qmail-uids-gids fast forwards", click <Apply> and close.

After a reboot you've noticed that you have different other sessions like Allias, qmaill, qmailp etc.
Login at your account and remove the other users (select delete files of accounts) with "User Accounts" or in terminal. After that, in terminal just check: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean.

Reboot

On synaptic package manager (again) search for qmail on quick filter. now see "non installed (residual config)" and you'll see qmail package even that it isn't installed the cofiguratioon is there. right click the ceckbox and select (mark for complete removal) once again.
