mu_stream_getline and others have changed to inline (changelog).
It seems as if not all dependent packages have been recompiled after this change.
Simple recompilation of mailfromd with the new headers did the job.

This is/was a bug in mailutils 3.14 (see https://bugs.debian.org/1003755) which had an ABI change (over 3.13), but did not bump the abiversion.
mailutils 3.15 fixed this issue.
In Debian I triggered a binary rebuild of mailfromd after mailutils 3.15 was released, but Ubuntu seems to have not noticed this requirement.

Since I yesterday uploaded a new version of mailfromd (8.13-2) to the Debian archive, I expect Ubuntu to pull in this version soon, which will freshly compile mailfromd with mailutils 3.15, which should fix this issue in Ubuntu, too.

They still have 8.13-1 in their repos for jammy. Maybe the Ubuntu build system needs some sort of "kick" to get it on 8.13-2? ;-)

[Roland Rosenfeld (roland)]

This should be fixed with the upgrade to 8.14-1, which is available in kinetic
