    Red face exim failed !! in big mess !! Error:package exim is not installed

    Hello All,
    Yesterday I tried to upgarde cpanel on my RedHat 7.3 server.Fortunately it upgraded the cpanel to 9.4 version but left me in bigger mess.When I looked in service status i found exim,imap both failed(showing red balls).
    Along with exim it is showing message that package exim is not installed.Now I am wondering how this happened?.I upgraded the cpanel only nothing else to 9.4.
    I tried to build apache and upgarding cpanel so that exim get installed but it failed.
    I tried /scripts/exim3 and /scripts/exim4 but they are ginving error:

    Resetting Exim to cPanel Defaults and Installing the Latest Version
    `/etc/localdomains' -> `/etc/localdomains.eximreset'
    error: package exim is not installed
    Retrieving http://diff.cpanel.net/exim-cpanel6....write.i386.rpm

    I don't have any answer but I am also having problems
    with exim.

    My exim stopped working and I can't figure it out. After it stopped
    working, I installed the newest version 4.34-60 and still can't get
    it working. Get the following:

    Jun 24 22:09:16 server145 exim: clamd shutdown succeeded Jun 24 22:09:16 server145 exim: exim shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:16 server145 exim: antirelayd shutdown succeeded Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: spamd shutdown succeeded Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: clamd shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: exim shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: antirelayd shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: spamd shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: clamd shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: exim shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: antirelayd shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:17 server145 exim: spamd shutdown failed Jun 24 22:09:18 server145 exim: clamd startup succeeded Jun 24 22:09:18 server145 exim: exim startup succeeded Jun 24 22:09:19 server145 exim: antirelayd startup succeeded Jun 24 22:09:20 server145 exim: spamd startup succeeded exim has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

    When I restart exim through ssh it shows everything stopping and
    starting ok, but when I go to the CPanel WHM it still shows exim has
    failed.
