Possible cause:
If the command
groups Debian-exim
answers with
id: Es ist kein Name zur Gruppen-ID 122 zu finden
("No name for group ID 122 found" or similar), then the group Debian-
exim was deleted or never created. I guess either the Ubuntu base
installation doesn't have it, or some package deleted it but shouldn't
have done so.
Workaround:
sudo groupadd -g 122 Debian-exim
Further information:
Using Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10), on the amd-64 install (alternate, I believe,
but I may be misremembering since it took me several CDs and many more attempts
to get the installer to work on my Lenovo R61 laptop).
My Ubuntu installation is relatively new, so if anybody wants to retrace my
installation history, I'll be hapy to provide any logs that might help.
To me, this happened when trying to install sun-java6-jre, which automatically
installed odbcinst1debian1, unixodbc, gcc-3.3-base, libstdc++5, and
sun-java6-bin.
I don't think that the real problem is in the installed packages though; the
Debian-exim user is present, uses group id 122, but there's no group with id
122, and group Debian-exim is missing, which really, really, really sounds as
if the group was deleted at some point (or was never included on the installer
CD).
