Russell's report, bug 575581, says:
> Program version 4.7 doesn't match environment version 4.6

The error I saw (and Johan's patch addresses), bug 594451, is:
> Program version 4.7 doesn't match environment version 4.8

I think 575581 is an old issue that has been superseded by 594451.
Thus reverting the severity of 575581, and bumping 594451, as it affects
lenny->squeeze upgrades. Not merging these bugs as they are reporting
different symptoms.

Johan's patch needs work, it checks for the existence of db4.7_upgrade
and then calls db4.8_upgrade.

However, I prefer Stephen's approach, as upgrading the DB in preinst
does appear unnecessary (and is certainly currently broken). Can anyone
who knows a little more about libberkeleydb-perl confirm that?

Patch for 594451 attached.

Hi,
sorry for the late reply but I had been busy lately.

I have committed the fix into git (collab-maint/postgrey.git) and sent a mail to
debian-release asking for their permission to upload to
testing-proposed-updates.

Once they confirm I will upload the package straight away.

Cheers
Antonio

It seems that the procedure has changed, I have created version 1.32-6 and
uploaded it to unstable, then submitted #606533 with an unblock request to
release.debian.org.
