ChristianEhrhardt (paelzer) I looked at exim4-config.postinst. Only thing I could see was;
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] &&\ ! getent passwd Debian-exim > /dev/null ; then echo 'Adding system-user for exim (v4)' 1>&2 adduser --system --group --quiet --home /var/spool/exim4 \ --no-create-home --disabled-login --force-badname Debian-exim But I'm not really good at packaging files or commands. It's really these 2 errors; exim: failed to find uid for user name "Debian-exim" and Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp, not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated and we know it's post install because of; subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Which I would assume it means that Exim4 gets installed but configuring it is screwed up. Is there some command or way to see a detailed listing of whats going on during post install, like a debug output switch? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1648934 Title: Dpkg fails to reinstall MTA Exim4 due to; "exim: failed to find uid for user name "Debian-exim" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exim4/+bug/1648934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
