Hi security team,

unfortunately there's an error in the sarge package:

% perl -c /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Audit/MimeEntity.pm
syntax error at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/Audit/MimeEntity.pm line 8, near "use 
MIME::Parser"
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/Audit/MimeEntity.pm had compilation errors.


ii  libmail-audit-perl        2.1-5sarge1               Perl library for 
creating easy mail filters


Don's patch in #344029 had a typo (missing semicolon). See #349838 for the fix.

Apologies; we should have Cc'd the patch to security@ .
