Bug#261994: exim4: Exim daemon doesn't stop on purge

[Tilman Koschnick]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.32-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

when replacing exim4 with postfix (apt-get --purge install postfix), the
exim daemon keeps running and listening on port 25:

# ps -Upostfix -f 
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
postfix    417     1  0 13:21 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd
-q30m
postfix   1304  1300  0 13:44 ?        00:00:00 pickup -l -t fifo -u -c
postfix   1305  1300  0 13:44 ?        00:00:00 qmgr -l -t fifo -u -c
postfix   1334   417  0 13:51 ?        00:00:00 [exim4] <defunct>

# netstat -ape | grep exim4
tcp        0      0 localhost.localdom:smtp *:*
LISTEN     root       1273       417/exim4           

# tail /var/log/mail.info

This happens after a new install with d-i, immidiately followed by
installing postfix (tried on two systems).
