The PKGBUILD never creates the ${pkgdir}/usr/sbin directory before copying the newaliases file into it.

I've attached a patch to add ${pkgdir}/usr/sbin to the mkdir command line.

Looking more closely, the PKGBUILD also tries to cd into the wrong directory before running exim's install script (so it never actually runs).

This updated patch includes a fix for that, too. (My apologies if I should have opened a separate report for this.)

Disclaimer: my exim.conf needs to be updated, so I haven't yet had a chance to verify that this doesn't break stuff.
