I propose a patch to qpsmtpd in jessie-proposed-updates; this is a one-line
patch to address a compatibility breaking API change introduced in
libnet-dns-perl 0.81. The effect of the incompatibility causes qpsmtpd (an
SMTP daemon) to abruptly disconnect incoming SMTP sessions, breaking
functionality pretty much completely and justifying severity=grave (in the
context of a package with a few dozen installs on stable.)
Proposed 0.84-12 updates a method name to the one in libnet-dns-perl_0.81
from jessie, and bumps the Depends: accordingly.
This closes bug#795836 (originally tagged for wheezy, I believe erroneously; my
testing on a wheezy install and the version of libnet-dns-perl from that
release does not reproduce the behavior).
Proposed quilt patch attached.
