Ouch. The dlopen functionality was patched in, and somehow that patch
must have gotten lost in the process. This loss of functionality is
unacceptable. I am therefore upgrading the bug severity to serious,
making the bug RC.

I can investigate on Tuesday afternoon the earliest.

I would like to suggest downgrading to 4.44-2 from testing.

Subject: exim4: option "local_scan_path" unknown

Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-2
Severity: important

Since the last upgrade exim4 broke sa-exim. The dlopen_localscan patch
seems to stop working. During upgrade I got these messages:

Exim configuration error in line 24 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp:
  main option "local_scan_path" unknown
Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp
not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated

I had to disable "local_scan_path" entry in exim4 config file for now.

4.50-3 will have the dlopen patch enabled in both -daemon-light and
-daemon-heavy. The fix is committed to svn.

Hi,

This was fixed in 4.50-3, which is currently available from
http://incoming.debian.org/ and should hit unstable overnight.

Merging with the previous report, and closing as fixed packages are
available.
