Package: dovecot-common Version: 1:1.2.15-7 Severity: important I performed upgrade of dovecto from version 1.2.15-7 (squeeze) to 1:2.1.7-2~bpo60+1 (squeeze-backports). After that I purged dovecot-common and it has removed my dovecot config file! Steps to reproduce: 1. Install dovecot, dovecot-imapd and dovecot-common from stable. 2. Make sure that /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf exists 3. Upgrade dovecot to 1:2.1.7-2~bpo60+1 4. Purge old dovecot packages (dovecot-common) 5. Check that /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf exists Result: File /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf removed during dovecot-common's postrm script execution (lines 8-13). But this file is needed for new dovecot version to work!
In 2.1.7.x dovecot-common is replaced by dovecot-core. It seems like you don't have dovecot-core installed even though it is a dependency of that version of dovecot-common. How did that happen?
