I noticed ``did_0+0+0''. Although not documented, this
indicates that qmail-local did zero file deliveries (mbox
and/or maildir), zero forwardings, and zero program deliveries.
So the controlling dot-qmail file shall not contain any program
line, any forward line, any mbox line, nor any maildir line.
But it's not empty; if it were empty, qmail-local would follow
the default delivery instruction(s) and usually some deliveries
would happen. The bottom line is that it contains at least
one comment line and doesn't contain any other kind of lines.
In other words, it contains comments only.

Uncommenting the above program line should be okay. Alternatively,
if you are happy without /etc/aliases.cdb, you can just remove
this file.
