Package: postgrey Version: 1.31-1 Severity: normal I recently upgraded postgrey:
/var/log/dpkg.log:2007-09-10 20:39:39 upgrade postgrey 1.30-2 1.31-1 Later that night, it seems to have died: /var/log/mail.err:Sep 11 02:44:11 wren postgrey[29737]: FATAL: Can't call method "txn_commit" on an undefined value at /usr/sbin/postgrey line 289. I was left with a mail system that wasn't accepting any mail. When I noticed that postgrey was no longer running, I started it via the init script, which noted that there was a stale pid file. It seems to be working again, for now. This seems similar to the bug reported in #441069, but my logs don't mention anything about cleaning up the database. In that bug libdb4.4 was mentioned. I have: ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-9 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [runtime] I've been using postgrey for ages w/o problems until now. Since I'm pretty sure I lost mail due to this bug, it's IMHO higher severity than important.
