New libc6 breaks exim?
Just a heads-up -- I upgraded to the new libc6 version, and exim started
refusing to accept SMTP connections from fetchmail. [1] I'm not sure what the
issue is exactly, but when running /usr/sbin/sendmail manually some non-fatal
errors are displayed about libdb2.so. (if I manage to track it down more I'll
file a bug report--right now I don't even know whether it's a problem with
exim or with libc6)
So if you use exim, you might want to at least dpkg-repack your old libc
before upgrading, or demonstrate that I don't know what I'm talking about ;-)..

[1] Thank God for procmail, which lets me at least sort of get my email..
