first, you might just as well

  apt-get remove --purge xserver-common

then, you have a Mach64 card if i remember correctly, right? then purge
xserver-svga too.

and then have a look at xf86config provided by xserver-common-v3

since you have a highly customized postfix, i decided to fix it. it was
actually more involved than i thought, so be glad. somehow, your
/etc/postfix/main.cf (which i saved as *.old). lines 102 and 116 should
have been indented.

anyway, i simplified your postfix configuration greatly, and it now
works...

can you view manpages or not?

*noooo*.

do

dpkg-reconfigure -plow man-db

you shouldn't run it by hand, but in general, the . path is not in
root's $PATH because of security reasons. and it *should not* be!
