Bug#694254: cyrus-common-2.4: upgrading from lenny to squeeze to wheezy requires db4.2-util in wheezy for db migration

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: cyrus-common-2.2,cyrus-common-2.4
Version: 2.4.16-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a distupgrade test with piuparts I noticed your package requires
the db4.2-util package (which is only in lenny) to perform a db upgrade
in wheezy. Looks like the db has not been upgraded during the
lenny->squeeze upgrade step.

This was observed on a piuparts test distupgrading from lenny to squeeze
to wheezy. Setting the severity to serious since this may affect the
upgrade path of servers that were initially set up with lenny (or
earlier) and were upgraded to squeeze long ago.
