Package: dovecot-sieve
Version: 1:2.4.2+dfsg1-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
after upgrading to 1:2.4.2+dfsg1-1 by sieve script became unusable.
I got:
===========

match: Missing regular expression support.
[...a lot of errors about missing regex suppor ...]
===========
despite fact that first line in my scrip is:
====
require [ "comparator-i;ascii-numeric","relational"
,"vnd.dovecot.execute","vnd.dovecot.pipe","vnd.dovecot.filter","fileinto"
,"regex" ,"variables" ,"body" ,"copy" ,"date" ,"imap4flags"
,"vnd.dovecot.debug" ,"editheader","index","encoded-character"]

after downgrading back to 1:2.4.1+dfsg1-9 script works as expected
