Bug Description

Binary package hint: perl

This is the same as http://bugs.debian.org/479957 which was fixed in Debian's perl-5.10.0-12 (Intrepid is at 5.10.0-11.1ubuntu2 as of today):

   * Fix 'constant subroutine SEEK_* redefined' warnings when using the
     Fcntl and POSIX modules together. (Closes: #479957)

The bug makes the daily eximstats cron job send two emails. One expected with a daily mail report and one unexpected with these warnings:

/etc/cron.daily/exim4-base:
Constant subroutine main::SEEK_SET redefined at /usr/sbin/eximstats line 554
Constant subroutine main::SEEK_END redefined at /usr/sbin/eximstats line 554
Constant subroutine main::SEEK_CUR redefined at /usr/sbin/eximstats line 554
