I now found out how to trigger the bug even with your latest version. This
explains why I saw the installation hanging the first time I installed
v2.2.13-9 because I installed dovecot-core AND dovecot-imapd:
*******
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dovecot-core_1%3a2.2.13-9_amd64.deb
*******
does not cause a problem,
*******
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dovecot-core_1%3a2.2.13-9_amd64.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/dovecot-imapd_1%3a2.2.13-9_amd64.deb
*******
does cause the upgrade/installation to hang after the restart of the IMAP
server.
I can finish the installation by running "ctrl-C" followed by "dpkg
--configure -a".
It seems dovecot-imapd must be tweeked, too. Here the output from its
installation:
