Package: exim4-base Version: 4.69-9 Severity: normal
I get this mailed by cron : run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base exited with return code 123 By issueing : EX4DEBUG=true /etc/cron.daily/exim4-base I was able to track it down to the last lines invoking exim_tidydb. I added some debugging and saw this : + find /var/spool/exim4/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' -or -type f -printf '%f\0' + xargs -0r -n 1 start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb --chuid Debian-exim:Debian-exim -- /var/spool/exim4 + find /var/spool/exim4/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' -or -type f -printf '%f\0' + su - --shell /bin/bash --command 'xargs -0r -n 1 echo /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim4' Debian-exim /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim4 log.0000000001 /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim4 retry /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim4 wait-remote_smtp_smarthost + find /var/spool/exim4/db -maxdepth 1 -name '*.lockfile' -or -type f -printf '%f\0' + su - --shell /bin/bash --command 'xargs -0r -n 1 /usr/sbin/exim_tidydb /var/spool/exim4' Debian-exim Usage: exim_tidydb [-t <time>] <spool-directory> <database-name> <database-name> = retry | misc | wait-<transport-name> | callout | ratelimit Tidying Exim hints database /var/spool/exim4/db/retry Tidying complete Tidying Exim hints database /var/spool/exim4/db/wait-remote_smtp_smarthost Tidying complete So I suppose there's something wrong with the find here.
