RE: Package upgrade "classes" in dselect - It happened again!
Hi,
too funny! Right after I posted this I upgraded to exim 3.02. AFTER the upgrade
dselect gave me this message:
Important! Exim configuration file format has changed!
======================================================
Your old configuration file has been renamed to /etc/exim.conf-pre-v3. An
automatic conversion script has been used to write a new /etc/exim.conf for you.
However, this does not fix everything, and you should check it is OK. Because a
wrongly configured mailer can cause serious problems, exim is now disabled! When
you want to re-enable it, you should do "eximconfig -i".
I now have serious problems. exim won't work with fetcmail (outgoing and local
mail works). If I had known this about the exim upgrade, I would have waited
and planned this upgrade.
This illustrates my earlier described problem perfectly! :)
