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?
