3 [Tue Jul 12 12:48 AM] pete@mingus:~$ systemctl restart exim4 ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units === Authentication is required to restart 'exim4.service'. Authenticating as: Peter Gossner,2000,, (pete) Password: ==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE === If there is a "bug" its in trying to roll back and my misunderstanding of the shim package.
