Package: exim4-config Version: 4.93-11 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
util-linux is generally expected to be installed but it may be missing from some minimal container images. Attempting to install exim4-config before util-linux results in the following because getopt is missing. Setting up exim4-config (4.93-11) ... Adding system-user for exim (v4) /usr/sbin/update-exim4defaults: 82: getopt: not found Terminating... dpkg: error processing package exim4-config (--configure): installed exim4-config package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: exim4-config After installing util-linux, the error changes to this. Setting up exim4-config (4.93-11) ... dpkg: error processing package exim4-config (--configure): installed exim4-config package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 20 Errors were encountered while processing: exim4-config Setting EX4DEBUG=1 reveals where it fails. + IFS= + printf %s\n FSET exim4/dc_other_hostnames mailname + IFS= + read -r _db_internal_line + IFS= + RET=20 Incorrect number of arguments + return 20 It only successfully configures after deleting /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf. Presumably the blank entries as seen below are throwing the script off. I suggest making the script more resilient and possibly adding a dependency on util-linux. Regards, James -- Package-specific info: # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' # # Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes # to this file might happen. The code handling this will honor your local # changes, so this is usually fine, but will break local schemes that mess # around with multiple versions of the file. # # update-exim4.conf uses this file to determine variable values to generate # exim configuration macros for the configuration file. # # Most settings found in here do have corresponding questions in the # Debconf configuration, but not all of them. # # This is a Debian specific file dc_eximconfig_configtype= dc_other_hostnames= dc_local_interfaces= dc_readhost= dc_relay_domains= dc_minimaldns= dc_relay_nets= dc_smarthost= CFILEMODE= dc_use_split_config= dc_hide_mailname= dc_mailname_in_oh= dc_localdelivery= -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages exim4-config depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.73 exim4-config recommends no packages. exim4-config suggests no packages. -- debconf information: exim4/dc_readhost: exim4/dc_eximconfig_configtype: local delivery only; not on a network exim4/dc_local_interfaces: 127.0.0.1 ; ::1 exim4/use_split_config: false exim4/dc_relay_nets: exim4/dc_localdelivery: mbox format in /var/mail/ exim4/dc_minimaldns: false exim4/mailname: ae83f2afb63b exim4/exim4-config-title: exim4/dc_relay_domains: exim4/dc_postmaster: exim4/hide_mailname: exim4/no_config: true exim4/dc_smarthost: exim4/dc_other_hostnames: ae83f2afb63b
