	That report means you have configured the file with
	at the configuration scripts with name  aliases.pag,
	and yet what the NDBM really does is to add to that
	suffixes  .pag  and  .dir  files.

	This is why I have following script in latter 2.99.49
	versions to automatically have sensible setup:

if [ -f $MAILVAR/db/aliases ]; then
	# Need to be updated at boot ?
	if [ ! -f $MAILVAR/db/aliases$DBEXTtest -o \
	     $MAILVAR/db/aliases -nt $MAILVAR/db/aliases$DBEXTtest ]; then
		# Yes, so update!
		$MAILBIN/zmailer newaliases
	fi
	relation -lmt $DBTYPE -f $MAILVAR/db/aliases$DBEXT aliases
else
	aliases () { return 1 }
fi


	For NDBM these $DB* things are:
		DBTYPE		ndbm
		DBEXT		""
		DBEXTtest	.pag
