Or just grab the excellent source package provided by Stephan Bosch at http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/dovecot-1.2/ - e.g: aptitude -y build-dep dovecot (you only need to do that once) wget -t0 -c http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/dovecot-1.2/dovecot_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz \ http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/dovecot-1.2/dovecot_1.2.3-0~auto+7.dsc \ http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/dovecot-1.2/dovecot_1.2.3-0~auto+7.diff.gz dpkg-source -x dovecot_1.2.3-0~auto+7.dsc cd dovecot-1.2.3 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot Guess this is the right time for a big "Thank You, Stephan".
