Exim4 can't start - getopt: command not found
I have been unable to get debian to automatically load into Gnome desktop since the last update. I got a message saying that I needed to start EXIM4 manually but I got the error "Exim4 can't start - getopt: command not found". I get the same error after trying to reload exim4. There are apparently some missing dependancies. Being a noob at this I really don't know where to start.
When I restarting Debian it would not boot all the way. It stops with this message on the screen
Switching to guest configuration:_
I booted as a single user and I got this error message. I could get everything as the message scrolled off the screen too fast. This part was still visible.
Invalid card number.
Usage: amixer ,options> [command]
It then listed the help commands for amixer I guess. Too long to add here. At the end before the prompt it read
done.
Give root password for maintenance.
(or type control-D to continue).
If I type Control-D I get back to the original message
Switching to Guest configuration.
If I enter the root password I can then manually started Gnome desktop with startx command.
At first I was getting errors in Synaptic that the Sarge repository was not found. I think this was the source of my problems. I manually edited the conf file and added the new Sarge link. It fixed my synaptic problem but I still can't seem to pass this error. I would hate to have to reinstall Debian linux from scratch.
Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know if I need to post more information,
