I got quite confused about this error message: DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the suggested conffile changes. Please read /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz for 4.67-2 and 4.67-4 I could not remember having rejected a config file change. I read the mentioned sections in NEWS.Debian.gz and was still confused how to remedy the situation. Searching the bug reports revealed the problem. The *dpkg-old files. Everything was actually fine, except the warning suggesting a faulty situation. I suggest changing the warning to something like: DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the suggested conffile changes. Or you may just have some *.dpkg-old files lying around with DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF in them. Deleting them will no longer cause them to issue this warning. Please read /usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz for 4.67-2 and 4.67-4 This simple text change does not require complicated programming and reduces confusion and stress of admins.
