The problem is the new version of mime-support in testing conflicts
with the version of metamail in testing. Either install metamail from
unstable, or put mime-support on hold until the required version of
metamail makes it to testing. (If you need the old version of
metamail, it's in http://www.blars.org/debian/dists/ somewhere.) I
noticed the problem as I was updating and put mime-support on hold.
