You probably saw this in the apt howto but I'll reference it here, apt-get -o debug::ProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade Try this if apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't work. You might also be able to run apt-setup. exim4 is what I have on debian testing.

One thing that jumped out at me in your message is: 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 278 not upgraded. It looks like you have a very outdated box . Have you considered running apt-get dist-upgrade? If you don't want to do that, try running apt-get -u dist-upgrade to see what packages will be upgraded. You could have another package that's not getting upgraded to the required version for exim4. I recently upgraded to exim4 and didn't see your problem. My system is kept up to date with regular apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade commands. Remember, this is just a wild guess.
