Hej,

the latest upgrade of the perl package breaks that too. From the 
changelog of perl 5.8.4:

| perl (5.8.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
|
|   * DB_File now uses to db4.2 (previously db4.0; closes: #240771).

This causes DB_File to create Berkeley DB hashes of version 8, which can 
not be read by exim4 (linked against libdb3.so.3) in the testing release.

I consider this a release critical bug, that really should be fixed ASAP.


lg,
daniel
