Hi,
Yesterday night I upgraded the automated packages built at Xi to the
latest experimental Debian packages for v2.0. This unfortunately causes
a problem upon upgrade. I've contacted the maintainer, so this issue
should resolve itself soon.
The issue manifests as follows:
Setting up dovecot-imapd (2:2.0.11-0~auto+25) ...
ucfr: Attempt from package dovecot-imapd to take
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf away from package dovecot-common
ucfr: Aborting.
dpkg: error processing dovecot-imapd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 4
configured to not write apport reports
The Debian maintainer split dovecot-common in various new packages and
moved config files in the process. Use
ucfr --purge --force dovoecot-imapd /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf
ucfr --purge --force dovoecot-managesieved
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf
ucfr --purge --force dovoecot-sieve /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf
to get rid of these errors as a workaround. I did this in combination
with temporarily purging and removing Dovecot, but that is probably not
necessary. Once you have upgraded, you will not encounter this problem
again.
And yes, if you are using Sieve, be sure to install the new
dovecot-sieve and dovecot-managesieved packages.
Regards,
Stephan.
