The quick fix to this problem until it's resolved is to not run the sendmailconfig script. Remove the aliases.db and run newaliases by hand. You may also need to chown root:root *.db while in the /etc/mail directory as I have to do that with the current version in unstable or else the server fails to receive mail. Jeremy T.
