Package: exim4 Version: 4.63-17 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
After doing an 'apt-get upgrade' on Jun 2 around 18:30 CET, the receiving of mail completely broke. This upgrade installed version 4.63-17. ======= The only errors could be found in /var/log/messages, of the sort: Jun 2 18:33:10 hikaru kernel: exim4[31923] trap divide error rip:2b799ba4ab83 rsp:7fff0f023930 error:0 Jun 2 18:33:54 hikaru kernel: exim4[31949] trap divide error rip:2b799ba4ab83 rsp:7fff0f023930 error:0 Jun 2 18:34:08 hikaru kernel: exim4[31960] trap divide error rip:2b799ba4ab83 rsp:7fff0f023930 error:0 Jun 2 18:34:19 hikaru kernel: exim4[31970] trap divide error rip:2b799ba4ab83 rsp:7fff0f023930 error:0 and so on, probably one for every mail delivery attempt. I did not notice this for three days :(( Just now I did - and then proceeded to download the source code of exim from sid (not lenny), version 4.67-1. I compiled this on my box (which runs 'testings') and installed it - after which mail worked again. I think this error is extremely serious and don't understand how it is possible that testing was broken this seriously for (at least) three days. If this is known bug that was really fixed in sid, then this fix should be released asap for testing. If not, then please let me know and I'll downgrade to 4.63-17 again and try to find out what is causing the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages exim4 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii exim4-base 4.67-1 support files for all exim MTA (v4 ii exim4-daemon-light 4.67-1 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon exim4 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: exim4/drec: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
