Eh? and how did it manage to break unrelated software ?!?!
I meant to say that other unrelated software breaks like subversion, trac,
hylafax .. Maybe the term 'unrelated' isnt where it should be.
The only thing broken is, apparently, sending mail - so anything that
tries to send mail will get connection refused.
I tryed to upgrade with apt-get dist-upgrade
An indication of from whence you started would be of help here...
dev:~# uname -a
Linux dev.tritux.com 2.6.8-3-386 #1 Thu Sep 7 05:39:52 UTC 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
That tells me nothing about where you started wrt sendmail and dpkg !
dev:~# dpkg -l|grep dpkg
ii apt 0.6.46.4 Advanced
front-end for dpkg
ii dpkg 1.13.24 package
maintenance system for Debian
ii dpkg-dev 1.13.24 package
building tools for Debian
Odd, I have the same versions of apt and dpkg - and those seem to be
the only two involved in this issue:
$dpkg -S `which start-stop-daemon`
dpkg: /sbin/start-stop-daemon
Can you apt-get --reinstall install sendmail-bin and see if it
now works ?
Ok, so you're still seenig the same start-stop-daemon error :(
what is the output of:
$ls -l `which start-stop-daemon`
here, I see
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18504 Oct 13 06:41 /sbin/start-stop-daemon
Also, I'd like to see the output of:
sh -x /etc/init.d/sendmail start
