I missed the earlier part of this thread, but it sounds alot like the
problems I had with sendmail, especially right before th potato release.
I'd try this:
*) Check all dependancies for exim, and make sure they're using the
db2 libraries supplied with libc6-dev-2.2.13 - especially if exim
builds with sasl or ldap... But note that even nscd can screw you
over.
*) Build without libc6-dev-2.2.13 using simply /usr/include/{ndbm,db}.h
*) strace the resultant binary if it still fails
I'm assuming we're going to see the same type of mess as db3 starts
being used... I wonder if we're going to see versioned libraries
this time
