Under Sid, exim is failing with "IPv6 socket creation failed: Invalid
argument" when started via /etc/init.d/exim start or from command line
as follows.
[root@navel:log]$ exim -d -bd -q5m
Exim version 3.32 debug level 1 uid=0 gid=0
Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 2.7.7: (08/20/99)
LOG: 0 PANIC DIE
IPv6 socket creation failed: Invalid argument
I've noticed this intermittently since August 12. I believe an
associated procmail/fetchmail problem may be related. Hmm...looks like
the '-bd' flag may be doing it. This was a recent /etc/init.d/exim
change. My old exim SysV init file doesn't have this flag.
Anyone else seeing same?
Package info?
Package: exim
Status: install ok installed
Version: 3.32-1
