Package: exim4-daemon-light
Version: 4.69-2+b1
Followup-For: Bug #476987
Commenting out line 96 bypasses the error. Clearly the
empty arguments are causing the error.
my workaround diff of /etc/init.d/exim4f:
96c96
< ;#sjm "${COMMONOPTIONS}" "${QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS}" "${SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS}"
---
> "${COMMONOPTIONS}" "${QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS}" "${SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS}"
Rolled back dpkg to 1.14.16.6 to insure start-stop-daemon
wasn't the culprit. No difference.
Since you asked for them here are my default & (undoctored) init.d files
===========================================================
# /etc/default/exim4
EX4DEF_VERSION=''
# 'combined' - one daemon running queue and listening on SMTP port
# 'no' - no daemon running the queue
# 'separate' - two separate daemons
# 'ppp' - only run queue with /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4.
# 'nodaemon' - no daemon is started at all.
# 'queueonly' - only a queue running daemon is started, no SMTP listener.
# setting this to 'no' will also disable queueruns from /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4
QUEUERUNNER='combined'
# how often should we run the queue
QUEUEINTERVAL='30m'
# options common to quez-runner and listening daemon
COMMONOPTIONS=''
# more options for the daemon/process running the queue (applies to the one
# started in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4, too.
QUEUERUNNEROPTIONS=''
# special flags given to exim directly after the -q. See exim(8)
QFLAGS=''
# options for daemon listening on port 25
SMTPLISTENEROPTIONS=''
