[...] This is caused/triggered by the upgrade of sed to version 4.2. If you take a 8Bit latin1 character, e.g ä and use it as pattern delimiter in sed, e.g. like this: sed -e 'sä123ä42äg' stuff suddenly stops working in special circumstances with sed 4.2. Sed now only accepts this if you are running a single byte encoding in LC_CTYPE (LC_CTYPE=C is fine), otherwise it probably is trying to interpret it as a (invalid) multibyte sequence and tthrows an error. Would you mind testing whether adding export LC_ALL=C somewhere at the start of /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf fixes the bug for you? cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
