[exim] exim fails to start after debian lenny upgrade

2008-05-13 Thread Yan Seiner 
OK, this is not quite an exim problem, but I hope someone can clue me in...

I am running debian lenny.  I did an upgrade last night, and now exim 
won't restart via the /etc/init.d/exim4 script; it fails with

selene:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/exim4 start
Starting MTA:start_daemon -p /var/run/exim4/exim.pid /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd 
-q30m
exim: incompatible command-line options or arguments
selene:/etc/init.d#

I put in an echo statement; it's the start_daemon line that's failing.  
The strange thing is that there's nothing wrong with exim itself:

selene:/etc/init.d# /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
selene:/etc/init.d# ps auxwww | grep exim
100  12585  0.0  0.0  83140  1488 ?Ss   05:48   0:00 
/usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m
root 12615  0.0  0.0   8236   816 pts/8R+   05:49   0:00 grep exim
selene:/etc/init.d#

Anyone else have this issue?  And how do I fix it?

You're quite right, it isn't - you'll be better off asking on the
relevant Debian support list:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exim4-users

...which is detailed in the README.Debian that the Debian exim4 package
contains.

Thanks  Too early and not enough coffee to think straight.  Sorry 
for the noise.
