Bug#383759: exim4-config: Fails to upgrade/install

[Yavor Doganov]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.62-4
Severity: serious

When upgrading the exim4 packages I receive the following error:

Setting up exim4-config (4.62-4) ...
/usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf: line 434: 14851 Illegal instruction
${EXIM} -C "${UPEX4C_outputfile}.tmp" -bV >/dev/null
Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp
not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
dpkg: error processing exim4-config (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I have purged them and tried a fresh install, but the error is the
same.  Perhaps it is worth noting that this happens only on one of my
machines which is running Debian testing, and it is an old one (Cyrix
100 MHz).  I am reporting this bug from another one (obviously!) and
changed the information below accordingly.

-- Package-specific info:
# /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
#
# Edit this file and /etc/mailname by hand and execute update-exim4.conf
# yourself or use 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config'
#
# Please note that this is _not_ a dpkg-conffile and that automatic changes
# to this file might happen. The code handling this will honor your local
# changes, so this is usually fine, but will break local schemes that mess
# around with multiple versions of the file.
#
# update-exim4.conf uses this file to determine variable values to replace
# the DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF strings in the configuration template files.
#
# Most settings found in here do have corresponding questions in the
# Debconf configuration, but not all of them.
#
# This is a Debian specific file
