Yes, I know. Oops.
Now, those lockfiles are stale; I seem to recall that there's an
opened bug about that, too.
Is there? I don't recall seeing one. But it was something that I had
looked into, and not got very far with. It doesn't happen to everyone
(and hadn't happened on the system I tested that version on, obviously,
or I'd have realised the bug you report)
A suggested fix might be:
for fn in /var/spool/exim/db/*; do
switch "$fn" in
(*.lockfile)
continue;
;;
(*)
db_upgrade;
;;
esac;
done;
That's a bit neater than how I was planning to do it, thanks.
By the way, why does the postinst create the /var/{log,run}/exim,
instead of including them in the package?
I can't remember, but I remember doing it, and there was a good reason
at the time. It may no longer matter, but I'd rather not change it now.
