Debian packages cpio failes to be updated

If you have some troubles upgrading cpio, it returns this error:

Preparing to replace cpio 2.6-18 (using …/cpio_2.6-18.1+etch1_i386.deb) …
Unpacking replacement cpio …
Replaced by files in installed package tar …
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/cpio_2.6-18.1+etch1_i386.deb (–u npack):

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/cpio_2.6-18.1+etch1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Try to run this commands:

mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES
mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/gl/LC_MESSAGES
mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES
mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/tr/LC_MESSAGES
mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES
mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES
mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES
mkdir -p /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES

And then the update should be working just fine

Arcserve R12 and Exchange

If you have follow my guide howto to backup exchange from Arcserve R12, but still have problems with backup the exchange server.
Try to search in global address book, in outlook if you can find the user this way, if you can’t that the problems.
In our setup we got this problem on our Hosted Exchange server, the problems was resolve with adding a user and putting it in our own global address book.
