This error can happen when there is a problem with your sendmail.cf: It
seems that Debian's sendmailconfig doesn't properly handle errors in
sendmail configuration files. For instance if there is a syntactic error
and you see a message like:

Creating /etc/mail/sendmail.cf... 
m4:/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:123: ERROR: end of file in string

the sendmailconfig script will just keep going (although it should
actually exit there) and then break somewhere else because the state of
/etc/mail is invalid.
