Public bug reported:
After the latest automatic update, exim4 was left not running.
/var/log/apt/history.log includes:
Start-Date: 2016-03-16 06:27:04
Upgrade: exim4-base:amd64 (4.82-3ubuntu2, 4.82-3ubuntu2.1), exim4:amd64
(4.82-3ubuntu2, 4.82-3ubuntu2.1), exim4-daemon-heavy:amd64 (4.82-3ubuntu2,
4.82-3ubuntu2.1), exim4-config:amd64 (4.82-3ubuntu2, 4.82-3ubuntu2.1)
Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
End-Date: 2016-03-16 06:27:06
I suspect this is because I have my own exim4 configuration file and the
update is trying to modify the configuration.
Also note this:
# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: exim4-config is broken or not fully installed
Leaving exim4 stopped in this case is far from ideal, the SMTP server
was down for ten hours while I was asleep before I noticed the problem.
As far as I understand it, having your own exim configuration file is a
supported system and should not be a cause for an update failure like
this.
