Logrotate needs an MTA to report on it's errors, so removing exim means no MTA.


Easiest way is to do an apt-get install nullmailer, nullmailer is a very small MTA which sends email to a specified smart host.

If you REALLY don't want an MTA on the box, then you'll need to cludge the logrotate package so that it no longer requires an MTA.

Do I just backup logrotate.conf and logrotate.d directory and let exim
remove logroate then just reinstall logrotate or what?

Won't work, trying to install logrotate will force the install of an MTA
