clamav-base.postinst executes newaliases if available. As exim was unpacked already at this time, newaliases was found and executed. But exim was not yet configured, therefore user Debian-exim wasn't yet in /etc/passwd, and that's what newaliases complains about.
I'm not sure which packet could handle this correctly. Despite of the error message "exim: failed to find uid ...", there's probably no harm here - maybe it could be a valid solution to just redirect newaliases' error message to /dev/null in clamav-base.postinst? -- clamav-base installation complains about missing Debian-exim userid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
