Hi,
Due to the missing version number, the BTS seems to have ignored the
severity. That's probably why your bug didn't hit the release radar.

Oops.
cyrus-common is long gone, so we can't fix bugs there, but we should
make sure, we don't wipe people's mail when upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3.
cyrus-common-2.2's postrm reads in the purge section:
for i in /var/lib/cyrus /var/spool/sieve \
/var/spool/cyrus \
/var/run/cyrus /var/run/cyrus/socket ; do
dpkg-statoverride --remove $i || true
done
rm -rf /var/run/cyrus || true
rm /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.active || true
rm usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-hardwired-config.active || true
# Should we remove our precious data?
if [ "$DEBCONFEXISTS" = "true" ]; then
db_title "Cyrus IMAPd 2.2" || true
db_fset cyrus-common-2.2/removespools seen
false || true
db_input high cyrus-common-2.2/removespools ||
true
db_go || true
db_get cyrus-common-2.2/removespools
else
RET="false"
fi
[ "${RET}" = "true" ] && {
for i in /var/spool/cyrus /var/lib/cyrus \
/var/spool/sieve /etc/sieve ; do
find "$i" -type f -exec rm -f '{}' \;
|| true
find "$i" -type d -depth -not -name
'lost+found' -exec rmdir '{}' \; || true
done
# Remove database type information
rm -f /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-*.active
}
It actually asks about purging files (and defaults to false), so we
are not affected, but it does wipe the statoverride settings. We
probably need some clever things in squeeze for cyrus-common-2.2's
maintainer scripts to be able to migrate the settings to
cyrus-common-2.3.
