Package: libmail-audit-perl
Version: 2.1-5.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

when i upgraded today i stopped receiving mail. after looking at the
sendmail logs, i was getting a mailer error 9

passing a test message through my mail filter, i found this message


Can't locate object method "autotype_new" via package
"Mail::Audit::MimeEntity" at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Audit.pm line 184,
<STDIN> line 411.
 at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Audit.pm line 184

 walking through the debugger, i found that the real problem is when the
 require for Mail::Audit::MimeEntity happens

 since the require doesn't check $@ to see if there is an error, if there
 is an error, then it will fail ungracefully

 the problem is that the MimeEntity package is missing a semi colon at
 line 7
