Bug Description

Using the randint string expansion (e.g. `exim -be '${randint:10}'`) causes the following syslog error message:

exim: Libgcrypt warning: missing initialization - please fix the application

This is most likely just a cosmetic issue and no critical bug. I am not sure if this is an issue with Exim or a problem that just occurs with the Ubuntu Exim4 package.

Versions:
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
exim4 4.82-3ubuntu2.2
libgcrypt20 1.7.2-2ubuntu1

This bug only applies to Ubuntu up to trusty (14.04LTS). xenial (16.04LTS) and later releases use GnuTLS 3.x with nettle as crypto backend.

Standard support has ended for Trusty. Extended security maintenance options are available, but as described this is a cosmetic issue rather than security, so closing out for now. Upgrading would be recommended if you've not done so already.
