Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: normal
I upgraded some boxes yesterday from Potato to Sarge and then
installed exim4. On two of them cron is now reporting
failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/retry: File exists
from one exim_tidydb part and
failed to open DB file /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp: File exists
from the other. This isn't happening on a couple of other boxes,
though. I guess it's a db incompatibility, but the file is the same
type on a system that gives the error and one that doesn't with the
same exim4 package versions.

exim4 uses /var/spool/exim4, so you are experiencing issues with your
(gone) exim 3. Did you purge the packages, or just remove them?
If you want to retain your exim 3 configuration for safety, please
disable the exim 3 cron jobs.
I am closing this bug as this seems like an exim 3 issue which the
exim 4 packages cannot solve. If you disagree, please feel free to
re-open and substantiate.
Greetings
Marc
