Hi R A S, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.

Its hard to answer this question without knowing which courier package you're trying to install, and what you mean by "it doesn't work".

Please if you could answer

1. What package did you install
2. What did you expect to happen?
3. What actually happened.

Thanks!
