Package: exim4 Version: 4.50-8 Severity: normal I upgraded some boxes yesterday from Potato to Sarge and then installed exim4. On two of them cron is now reporting
failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/retry: File exists from one exim_tidydb part and failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp: File exists from the other. This isn't happening on a couple of other boxes, though. I guess it's a db incompatibility, but the file is the same type on a system that gives the error and one that doesn't with the same exim4 package versions. /var/spool/exim/db/retry: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 5, native byte-order) -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.50 #1 built 27-May-2005 10:31:00 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2004 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.2.52: (December 3, 2003) Support for: iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dsearch nis n\ is0 passwd Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated # /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf # # Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf # yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' # # Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes # to this file might happen.
