Unfortunately he didn't notice the problem, and nor did I when I subsequently uploaded an exim package. I'll fix this and upload a fixed package. In the meantime, if you delete the files in /var/spool/exim/db, it will create new ones using libdb2 which will work, but you'll have to do it again when you upgrade to a later version where I've gone back to 1.85. (If it was only those hints databases I'd change to libdb2 permanently and have the postinst or something delete the existing databases, but it's possible for users to use db files for other things, which a) I wouldn't know about unless I parsed the config file, and b) they might not want deleting) ------- End of Forwarded Message > -- > Tom > "Nothing is so firmly believed as what is least known." > -Montaigne > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -- Shaul Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Shaul Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
