Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.50-4
Severity: normal
The command 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' restarts exim4 after asking me for my new
configuration (it displays "Restarting MTA: exim4"). Looking in the logs and with ps aux,
I see that a new exim4 process is running. However, it uses the old config from _before_ I
ran dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. So effectively, there is a time-delay of exactly one
configuration, i.e. the configuration that is used by the running exim4 is not the most
recent but one version older. However, the file /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated does
contain the new config. So this is quite confusing if you try to debug your configuration.
Doing an additional invoke-rc.d exim4 restart loads the new config; however since the
'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' already does that one would not expect that this is
necessary.
If I use the other method of configuring (editing /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf by
hand, then running update-exim4.conf, then issuing invoke-rc.d exim4 restart) the new
config is applied immediately.
I do not know whether this is a bug in exim4 or in exim4-config, but I suspect it is in
exim4-config.
