Dear list, I just upgraded my debian box (testing / x64) as usually with apt-get upgrade and it broke my full exim installation. See output of apt-get: ------------- cut ------------- cut ------------- Setting up exim4-config (4.63-7) ... 2006-10-24 09:02:03 Exim configuration error in line 164 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: main option "acl_check_rcpt" unknown 2006-10-24 09:02:03 Exim configuration error in line 164 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: main option "acl_check_rcpt" unknown 2006-10-24 09:02:03 Exim configuration error in line 164 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: main option "acl_check_rcpt" unknown exim: could not open panic log - aborting: see message(s) above Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated dpkg: error processing exim4-config (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of exim4-base: exim4-base depends on exim4-config (>= 4.30) | exim4-config-2; however: Package exim4-config is not configured yet.

What do you recommend please? Regards, Josep SERRANO.

Is your exim binary still suid root? What are the privileges of /var/log/exim4 and /var/log/exim4/paniclog?
