Subject: /etc/init.d/exim4: update-exim4.conf complains incorrectly

Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:27:03 +0100

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.69-3
Severity: normal
File: /etc/init.d/exim4

Hi,

eve:[~]% sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 stop
Stopping MTA: exim4_listener.
eve:[~]% sudo /etc/init.d/exim4 start
Starting MTA:hostname --fqdn did not return a fully qualified name, dc_minimaldns will not 
work. Please fix your /etc/hosts setup.
 exim4.
eve:[~]% hostname --fqdn
eve.kumria.com

Obviously, the coding performing the checking is not quite right.

Here is /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf run using /bin/sh -x

++ hostname --fqdn
++ lowerpipe
++ tr A-Z a-z
++ check_ascii_pipe
+++ cat
++ grep '\.'
++ IN=eve.kumria.com
+++ echo eve.kumria.com
+++ sed 's/[^-0-9a-zA-Z\/\.!*@_~:;< \[\]]/_/g'
++ OUT=eve.kumria.com
++ '[' eve.kumria.com '!=' eve.kumria.com ']'
++ echo eve.kumria.com
+ guessed_name=eve.kumria.com
+ seed_macro MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME eve.kumria.com
++ preprocess_macro MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME eve.kumria.com
++ macroname=MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME
++ shift
+++ lowercase eve.kumria.com
+++ echo eve.kumria.com
+++ lowerpipe
+++ tr A-Z a-z
+++ check_ascii_pipe
++++ cat
+++ IN=eve.kumria.com
++++ echo eve.kumria.com
++++ sed 's/[^-0-9a-zA-Z\/\.!*@_~:;< \[\]]/_/g'
+++ OUT=eve.kumria.com
+++ '[' eve.kumria.com '!=' eve.kumria.com ']'
+++ echo eve.kumria.com
++ contents=eve.kumria.com
++ printf %s '.ifndef
MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME\nMAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME=eve.kumria.com\n.endif\n'
+ UPEX4C_macros='##############################################\n# the
following macro definitions were created\n# dynamically by
/usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf
\n.ifndef

DC_minimaldns\nDC_minimaldns=1\n.endif\n.ifndef
MAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME\nMAIN_HARDCODE_PRIMARY_HOSTNAME=eve.kumria.com\n.endif\n'
+ echo eve.kumria.com
+ grep -q '\.'
+ errormessage 'hostname --fqdn did not return a fully qualified name,
dc_minimaldns will not work. Please fix your /etc/hosts setup.'
+ echo 'hostname --fqdn did not return a fully qualified name,
dc_minimaldns will not work. Please fix your /etc/hosts setup.'
+ fold -s -w 80

The code has:

if echo $guessed_name | grep -q '\.'; then
  errormessage "hostname --fqdn did not return a fully qualified name, dc_minimaldns will not work. Please fix your /etc/hosts setup."
fi

perhaps it should be;

if echo $guessed_name | grep -v -q '\.'; then

instead?

Thanks,
Anand

   * Regenerating the 2048 bits DH parameters takes too long for slow
