Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.34-9
Severity: important

Recently I upgrade and now for some reason one of my machine has stopped
creating the /var/spool/exim4/gnutls-params file after the
/etc/cron.daily/exim4-base removes it. 

The file never is regenerated. So when a client connects expecting TLS
the client hangs waiting for exim4 to send it the TLS go ahead.

# swaks -t yazz at 230volts.net -f yazz at 230volts.net -s ruroni.230volts.net -tls 
=== Trying ruroni.230volts.net:25...
=== Connected to ruroni.230volts.net.
<-  220 ruroni.230volts.net ESMTP Exim 4.34 Sun, 12 Dec 2004 12:52:40
-0800
 -> EHLO exodus.230volts.net

 <-  250-PIPELINING
 <-  250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5
 <-  250-STARTTLS
 <-  250 HELP
  -> STARTTLS
  
It just waits right there spinning away. 

I have a second machine running the same version and it has no
problem generating the needed file on the fly. I'm stumped to why this
is happening and not really sure how I can even find out what the
problem is.  Any help would be great. 

On the machine NOT working I have theses installed
# dpkg -l |grep gnutls
ii  gnutls-bin     1.0.16-13      GNU TLS library - commandline
utilities
ii  libgnutls10    1.0.4-8        GNU TLS library - runtime library
ii  libgnutls11    1.0.16-13      GNU TLS library - runtime library
ii  libgnutls5     0.8.8-2        GNU TLS library - runtime library
ii  libgnutls7     0.8.12-7       GNU TLS library - runtime library

On the working machine I have the same versions.

My only solution right now it to comment out the line in the cron.daily
script that removes the file in the first place but that isn't really a
long time fix. 

TIA,
 	Yazz

Changes: 
 exim4 (4.52-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * unpack/pack configs to get clear EDITME patches (mh)
   * Update ca (Catalan) translation.
     Thanks to Aleix Badia i Bosch. (mh) Closes: #317429
   * Update mk (Macedonian) translation.
     Thanks to Georgi Stanojevski. (mh) Closes: #320231
   * Use certtool from gnutls-bin in cron.daily to re-generate gnutls-params
     instead of only removing the file and letting exim4 re-generate it at SMTP
     time after receiving STARTTLS. The maximum runtime of certtool is limited
     to 2*1800 seconds per default by using timeout.pl by Piotr Roszatycki
     (checked and beautified by Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt). Add gnutls-bin to
     exim4-base' Suggests. (am) Closes: #285371
   * Build-Depend on libgnutls-dev (from gnutls12) instead of libgnutls11.
   * Drop compability with debhelper in woody (am):
     - mv *.templates.master *.templates
     - update po/POTFILES.in accordingly.
     - no more manual invocation of po2debconf in debian/rules
     - use dh_installppp instead of manual dh_installdirs/dh_install.
       Closes: #212893
     - Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.1.68)
   * drop upgly passwd dependency introduced in 4.30-6. (am)
   * shorten Build-Depends by replacing "libxfoo-dev|xlibs-dev' with just
     'libxfoo-dev'. (am)
   * Do not try to authenticate to smarthost if smarthost offers AUTH LOGIN but
     passwd.client does not contain a matching entry. (am) Closes: #323565
