It looks like dpkg --configure is broken for dovecot-common; I've been using this successfully for some time, but after an update it fails to start up saying that I already have ssl certificates (which I do; I've been using it quite happily). The package seems to be installed okay; it works fine when started manually. It looks like the configure script is messed up, which in turn stops apt-get from installing anything else.
