Bug#431130: exim4-config: update-exim4.conf greps in .dpkg-old files

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.67-5
Severity: minor

When upgrading to exim 4.67 today I was presented with the
"DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration." message
although I haven't received any suggestions for conffile changes (on
the second machine, on the first one I got some debconf questions and
all was fine).

I think the reason is line 393 in /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf:
  if grep -qr '^[^#]*DEBCONF[a-z]\+DEBCONF' $UPEX4C_confd $TEMPLATEFILE
which means that update-exim4.conf greps through _all_ files under
/etc/exim4/conf.d -- and I had some .dpkg-old files lying around
there, and those were the only files still containing
DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF entries.

Deleting the *.dpkg-old files made the message go away as expected.


Thanks for your work on exim4!


Cheers,
gregor
