[Pkg-exim4-users] Install error: user mail was not found

Hi,

On attempting to install exim4 I keep getting stuck with a "user mail was
not
found" error.

User mail and its group _do_ exist. I''ve tried removing user mail, and 
re-adding it. I''ve also tried installing the heavy daemon as well as
the
light daemon. and I''ve tried to start clean each time with apt-get
--purge
remove exim4 exim4-config exim4-daemon-light etc..

I discovered the same problem already discussed, but did not see the solution. 
See:

http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_frm/thread/f9fa82a4fdcf8d2c/928f99e1de29b130?lnk=st&q=%22user+mail+was+not+found%22&rnum=2&hl=en#928f99e1de29b130

My desktop system is fairly newly installed with the ''testing''
distribution
and updated. It sits behind another debian system (stable dist) 
''serverconnect.org'' that acts as my firewall/Internet mail
server, but the
problem here is on my desktop system.

I actually had exim4 working fine until recently. I think it''s got
busted
since an apt-get upgrade (triggering the reconfigure scripts?). Maybe that 
just highlighted the problem caused from something I''ve done elsewhere.

Here''s my output with debugging below.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Mark

That''s Debian Bug #376589 which turned out to be an error in the
chroot that was used on that system. The root directory needs to be
world readable.

Ah right. Well here''s some on that then:
zev:~# ls -ld /
drwxr-xr-x  23 root root 1024 2005-11-29 13:52 /
zev:~# ls -ld /var/mail
drwxr-xr-t  2 mail mail 1024 2006-01-11 17:12 /var/mail

I found the problem. If anyone else finds this useful, I had /etc/passwd perms 
set too tight for some reason. Now set to 644.

That solution is very useful, thanks for clearing this up for the
archive. I apologize for not handling the issue in a more timely
fashion.

For the other readers: strace is a great tool to find out issues like
that, it would have cleanly shown the failed attempt to
access /etc/passwd.
