Ok, that explains why sendmail is being a pain to install. Thanks.

Also i have found that after install_packages is ran alot of packages
are marked iU not ii, by dpkg. After i run dpkg --configure -a with
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive set, things are ok. Are packages ment to
be marked iU after install_packages is executed?
