Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-4
Severity: normal
The check for debconf versions prevents dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config
from working correctly with some mixed-release systems. I suspect the
debconf check is too broad, as I've never experienced bug 246742, even
after hacking the postinst. Shouldn't this be a Conflict rather than a
postinst failure?

Closes: 269501 270578 270681 271179 271864
Changes:
exim4 (4.34-4sarge2) testing-proposed-updates; urgency=low
.
* hr (Croatian) translation of debconf templates by Krunoslav Gernhard
(Closes: #270578)
* remove osirusoft from dnsbl examples. Thanks to Greg Kochanski for
noticing. Add dnsbl disclaimer. (mh) (Closes: #269501)
[tpu rationale: safe change, only changes code in
/usr/share/doc/$package/examples ]
* Do not remove the Debian-exim user in "exim4-config.postrm purge".
Package dependencies are only effective for packages in status installed,
but it is clearly not sane to remove the user until all exim4-packages
are purged. e.g. this can completely break logrotate (Closes: #270681).
[tpu rationale: breaking logrotate is a serious issue, the bug is just not
severity serious yet because it requires a deliberate choice of selecting
some packages for purge and others only for uninstall]
* Update README.Debian.UUCP (thanks, Andreas Barth) (Closes: #271179)
* The hack to fix the infinite debconf loop on woody (#246742) broke
dpkg-reconfigure. Add an additional [ "reconfigure" != "$1" ] condition to
the abort clause. (Closes: #271864)
