[Bug 1399202] [NEW] Lots of "Berkeley DB error: PANIC" logentries

Thu Dec 4 14:01:44 UTC 2014

Public bug reported:

For a couple of weeks I have the following messages in
/var/log/exim4/mainlog.

The temporary workaround is to run the following commands: "service
exim4 stop && rm -r /var/spool/exim4/db && service exim4 start".

After some hours the messages appear again. I haven't found a solution
for this problem, yet.
