[Pkg-exim4-users] exim4 4.84-8 does not install / configure on debian Jessie ARM

[Carsten von Aswegen]

Hi,

I am trying to install exim4, but no success so far. Downloading the packages 
works well (-config, -base, -daemon-light), but exim4-config does not get set 
up:

exim4-config (4.84-8) wird eingerichtet ...
2015-09-01 19:32:43 Exim configuration error in line 704 of 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
  group mail was not found
2015-09-01 19:32:43 Exim configuration error in line 704 of 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
  group mail was not found
2015-09-01 19:32:43 Exim configuration error in line 704 of 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
  group mail was not found
exim: could not open panic log - aborting: see message(s) above

I found others, having the same problem, who could solve it by changing 
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp line 664

from group = mail
to group = 8

But unfortunately that change has no effect on my problem. Now, I don't know 
how to proceed. Would be great if someone could help to get around this.

Thanks
Carsten
