Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-6
Severity: minor
Hello,
I noticed that, if the Exim daemon is stopped (e.g. because of a
configuration error), it won't be restarted after reconfiguration.
Example output:
# /etc/init.d/exim4 stop
Stopping MTA: exim4.
# dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
[... configuration dialogs ...]
Reloading exim4 configuration files
No /usr/sbin/exim4 found running; none killed.
invoke-rc.d: initscript exim4, action "reload" failed.
I think the problem is that exim4-config.config is assuming that the
daemon is up and running. Maybe it should either
- try to restart if reloading fails, or
- check if the daemon is running, and act accordingly.
Here is the point which causes the failure. It is located at the very
bottom of exim/debian/exim4-config.config:
if [ "$1" = "reconfigure" ] && [ -x /etc/init.d/exim4 ] &&\
command -v invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
invoke-rc.d exim4 reload || true
fi
Best Regards,
Danilo

[...]
This is fixed in 4.43-4 by this change:
* Some changes (most notably changing the interfaces exim listens on)
require restarting exim instead of just sending HUP. Change documentation
and exim4-config.config accordingly. (Closes: #290945)
We now use "invoke-rc.d exim4 restart" instead of "invoke-rc.d exim4
reload", which will start a exim daemon if none was running before.
