Hi,
I have exim 4.20 compiled with a static Berkeley DB library version
3.2.9 and exim is just running fine. For example the retry database
has the correct file format:
bash-2.05# file /var/spool/exim/db/retry
/var/spool/exim/db/retry: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 7, native byte-order)
But when I try to access these files with the exim utilites
(e.g. exim_dumpdb) I get the following error message:
bash-2.05# exim_dumpdb /var/spool/exim retry
** Failed to open DBM file /var/spool/exim/db/retry for reading:
Inappropriate file type or format (or Berkeley DB error while opening)
As exim_dbmbuild creates a Berkeley DB file of version 1.85 and
exim_dumpdb can read this file there is an inconsistency of the
Berkeley DB versions used by exim:
bash-2.05# exim_dbmbuild /etc/aliases /tmp/db/misc
50 entries written
bash-2.05# file /tmp/db/misc
/tmp/db/aliases.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
bash-2.05# touch /tmp/db/misc.lockfile
bash-2.05# exim_dumpdb /tmp misc

(+ more nonsense, but the file can be read!)
Is this a none problem or does anybody have a workaround for this
behavior?
Thanks for your help!
