Bug#349101: exim4-daemon-heavy: Does not start: libmysqlclient.so.15: no version information available

[Ben Stewart]

Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.60-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When attempting to start the daemon, or execute /usr/sbin/exim4, the
following error message is received.

# /etc/init.d/exim4 start
Starting MTA: /usr/sbin/exim4: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15: no version
information available (required by /usr/sbin/exim4)
/usr/sbin/exim4: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15: no version information
available (required by /usr/sbin/exim4)
/usr/sbin/exim4: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15: no version information
available (required by /usr/sbin/exim4)
exim4.

The package cannot be started manually, and an ldconfig did nothing to
resolve this issue. Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.
