    # zcat /usr/share/doc/exim4/examples/example.conf.gz > /etc/exim4/exim.conf
    # sed -i '/primary_hostname =/i\exim_version =' /etc/exim4/exim.conf
    # sed -n '60,64{=;p}' /etc/exim4/exim.conf
    60
    # the right thing and you need not set anything explicitly.
    61
    
    62
    exim_version =
    63
    # primary_hostname =
    64

In case this is not the poster, and myself, mistakes, there seem to be a problem. Either spec.txt
is ahead of the actual binary, or some build time configuration issue, or a bug, or something.
