strange sendmail error msgs
Hello, On my hamm system, I've been getting strange error msgs since installing exim. Strange, because they are sendmail msgs: /usr/sbin/sendmail: error in loading shared libraries libpcre.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I did dpkg -s sendmail, and found that it is purged, however, a file called sendmail does, in fact, exist in /usr/sbin. I did dpkg -s libpcre1 and this library appears to be installed and okay. I have been running this box w/o mail for a number of months, however, it did, for a brief time, have sendmail running on it. I thought I'd purged it (dpkg -s sendmail agrees). So, if sendmail is purged (according to dpkg), why does /usr/sbin/sendmail exist, and why is it sending me this msg? TIA, --David

I don't know why it's sending you that message, check the glibc-ness of different things, maybe? As to where it comes from, here's what I get on my potato system: $ dpkg -S /usr/sbin/sendmail exim: /usr/sbin/sendmail It's a compatability wrapper, since many things just assume that sendmail exists. -- Ian Peters I never let schooling interfere with my education.

libpcre.so.1 and libpcre.so.1.01 (was strange sendmail error msgs)
Hello, I've been running a hamm system for a few months and recently installed exim and libpcre1 (upon which exim depends). Since then, I've been getting console msgs: /usr/sbin/sendmail: error in shared libraries libpcre.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I'm guessing that the msgs were actually coming from exim and not sendmail (although I haven't yet confirmed this hypothesis). The real problem here seems to be libpcre.so.1, which I assumed was part of the libcpcre1 package. So I did 'dpkg -L libpcre1' and got: /. /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/libpcre.so.1.01 What is the difference between libpcre.so.1 and libpcre.so.1.01? Have I installed an incompatible version of libpcre1? TIA, --David
