> Entry /var/lib/exim4 in databases has different attributes: 800000bbd 1a00200a1d

It means the attributes in the database or different from the ones in the config file.

> The steps I executed to initialize AIDE are as follow:
> 
> # aide -c /etc/aide/aide.conf --init
> # cp /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new /var/lib/aide/aide.db
> # aide -c /etc/aide/aide.conf --check
> # aide -c /etc/aide/aide.conf --update

After the --update you need the check the output, and when satisfied copy or move the aide.db.new to aide.db like you did in step 2. A --config is not required before an --update btw. 

Kind regards,

Richard
