Hi all, On a virtual server I may not need exim but when i test to see what will happen when I remove it I get this:
d$ sudo apt-get --dry-run --purge remove exim Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: at* exim* logrotate* mailx* 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Purg at (3.1.8-11 Debian:3.0r2/stable) Purg logrotate (3.5.9-8 Debian:3.0r2/stable) Purg mailx (1:8.1.2-0.20020411cvs-1 Debian:3.0r2/stable) Purg exim (3.35-1woody2 Debian-Security:3.0/stable, Debian:3.0r2/stable) $ It would remove logrotate ! Thats used to rotate my apache-perl, mysql logs. Do I just backup logrotate.conf and logrotate.d directory and let exim remove logroate then just reinstall logrotate or what? Whats the right way to handle this ?
