That may be the reason the issue didn't show up on a test system. > Certainly there is nothing in the latest update which > involves it? In your last upgrade did you lose systemd-shim perhaps? I just installed the 8.1 -> 8.2 update at once. So any package of https://www.debian.org/News/2015/20150905 may be the cause. But most likely there are: # tail -50 /var/log/aptitude | grep dovecot [AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-core:amd64 1:2.2.13-11 -> 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1 [AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-imapd:amd64 1:2.2.13-11 -> 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1 [AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-ldap:amd64 1:2.2.13-11 -> 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1 [AKTUALISIERUNG] dovecot-lmtpd:amd64 1:2.2.13-11 -> 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1 # tail -50 /var/log/aptitude | grep systemd [AKTUALISIERUNG] libsystemd0:amd64 215-17+deb8u1 -> 215-17+deb8u2 [AKTUALISIERUNG] systemd:amd64 215-17+deb8u1 -> 215-17+deb8u2 [AKTUALISIERUNG] systemd-sysv:amd64 215-17+deb8u1 -> 215-17+deb8u2 I got to see it, because etckeeper told of two new symlinks: /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dovecot.service /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/dovecot.socket Your postinst does some systemd stuff: |if deb-systemd-helper --quiet was-enabled dovecot.socket; then | # Enables the unit on first installation, creates new | # symlinks on upgrades if the unit file has changed. | deb-systemd-helper enable dovecot.socket >/dev/null || true| |else | # Update the statefile to add new symlinks (if any), which need to be | # cleaned up on purge. Also remove old symlinks. | deb-systemd-helper update-state dovecot.socket >/dev/null || true| |fi But that should not raise this issue. I tried to reproduce the issue on a test system. But as last time, it doesn't occur there.
