exim4 and "malformed macro definition"
I was trying to install some numerical computing packages on my Debian
Sarge system (2.6.9) using dselect and got this:
Preconfiguring packages ...
2005-01-31 16:35:14 Exim configuration error in line 6 of
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated:
malformed macro definition
Can't send mail: sendmail process failed with error code 1
What is going wrong? Never had this before. And should I worry about the
actual installation that seems to have gone well? Full output is given
below.
thanks,
