Bug#394598: exim4-daemon-heavy: Upgrade breaks TLS

Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Version: 4.63-7
Severity: serious

I have upgraded from exim4 4.50-8sarge2.

Now, whenever a client attempts to use TLS, I see:

2006-10-21 22:00:08 TLS error on connection from xxx (yyy) [x.x.x] (DH params import): Base64 decoding error.

Nothing has changed with my certs.  I initially answered N when it asked me
whether to replace the TLS conffile, though I later migrated it to the new
system, just in case that made a difference.

This is a serious upgrade-from-sarge issue that could break things.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm using a combined key+cert file
for the server -- and this is documented to be supported -- but perhaps
something is broken with its support.
