[Pkg-exim4-users] Broken exim4-config (4.63-7)

[Josep F Serrano]

Dear list,

I just upgraded my debian box (testing / x64) as usually with apt-get upgrade and it broke my full exim installation.

See output of apt-get:

After that exim doesn't start anymore :-(

I have tried to downgrade to previous package by trying to install with dpkg -i --force the packages I keep in /var/cache/apt/archives/ but dpkg doesn't play the game :-(

Anyone else is having the same difficulties with this upgrade?
What do you recommend please?

Regards,
Josep SERRANO.
