Package: exim4
Version: 4.52-2
Severity: normal


Here is a message from my exim4 mainlog:
2005-09-25 10:10:34 1EJRaj-0003CC-DO TLS error on connection to smtp.tele2.fr [212.247.156.12] (tls-init): The gcrypt library version is too old.
2005-09-25 10:10:34 1EJRaj-0003CC-DO == f8cfe at free.fr R=smarthost T=remote_smtp_smarthost defer (-37): failure while setting up TLS session

It looks like libgnutls12 (version 1.2.6-1) requires libgcrypt11 to be
uptodate for exim4 to be able to use TLS.

This problem was solved after replacing libgcrypt11 1.2.0-6 using 1.2.1-4,
so adding a package version dependency should do it.
