Bug#960356: exim4-base: the exim_lock(8) refers to section 25.2, which does not exist

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.93-15
Severity: minor

In the exim_lock(8) man page:

  Exim.  For a discussion of locking issues, see section 25.2.  exim_lock
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^

section. Shouldn't it be section 26.3?

For a discussion of locking issues, see section 26.3. Exim_lock can be used to
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^
