Package: exim Version: 3.36-17 Severity: normal Since I kept getting messages like,
failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp: File exists, I found bug 248622. However, I am already beyond the version where this was fixed. Running db3_upgrade manually solved the problem. Curious as to why this didn't happen automatically, I looked at exim.postinst and found that it calls db3_upgrade /var/spool/exim/db/* || true I then ran db3_upgrade * in that directory, and the result was: db_upgrade: reject.lockfile: unrecognized file type db_upgrade: DB->upgrade: reject.lockfile: Invalid argument So, it seems during postinst only reject was upgraded, and after that db3_upgrade failed. The || true ensures that this failure is never noticed. There should probably be a loop over all files in the directory instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages exim depends on: ii cron 3.0pl1-91 management of regular background p ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb3 3.2.9-22 Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [ru ii libident 0.22-3 simple RFC1413 client library - ru ii libldap2 2.1.30-12 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpcre3 6.4-1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi Versions of packages exim recommends: ii netbase 4.23 Basic TCP/IP networking system -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
