Bug#383420: exim4-config 4.63 should conflict with exim4 < 4.63

[Yannick Roehlly]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.63-2
Severity: normal


When ugrading my Debian Sid, I did not notice that I was upgrading
exim4-config but not exim4 packages (the PowerPC packages were not
yet autobuilt).

The post.inst script fails with:

Param=E9trage de exim4-config (4.63-2) ...
2006-08-17 08:40:01 Exim configuration error in line 519 of /var/lib/exim=
4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
  option "forbid_smtp_code" unknown
Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp
not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to=20
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated

Maybe exim4-config version 4.63 should conflict with previous versions
of exim4 packages to prevent failing partial upgrades.

Sincerely,

Yannick
