Package : xapian-core Version : 1.4.11-1+deb10u1 Debian Bug : 1032398

Two important bugs were discovered in xapian-core, a search engine library, that led to potential database corruption on disk full, and incorrectly reporting corruption for a database with replication changesets.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.11-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xapian-core packages.
