Package: dovecot-core
Version: 1:2.1.7-6
Severity: important
Hi,
I've just upgraded from 2.1.7-2 to 2.1.7-6.
Adding 15-mailboxes.conf with namespace inbox { } doesn't work too well
if my existing 10-mail.conf file didn't have a namespace inbox { } section:
Dec 27 22:55:25 mail dovecot: lda(geda...@gedalya.net): Fatal: Invalid
user settings. Refer to server log for more information.
Dec 27 23:07:05 mail dovecot: lda(geda...@gedalya.net): Error: user
geda...@gedalya.net: Initialization failed: namespace configuration
error: inbox=yes namespace missing
Dec 27 23:10:39 mail dovecot: imap(geda...@gedalya.net): Error: Invalid
user settings. Refer to server log for more information.
Dec 27 23:10:39 mail dovecot: imap(geda...@gedalya.net): Error: user
geda...@gedalya.net: Initialization failed: namespace configuration
error: inbox=yes namespace missing
Renaming to 15-mailboxes.conf.disable fixes the problem, as does adding
a proper namespace inbox section with inbox=yes, but of course it is not
possible to just overwrite 10-mail.conf during the package upgrade, and
adding 15-mailboxes.conf is unconditional, so effectively the upgrade
breaks dovecot and makes mailboxes inaccessible.
At the very least, the following line from 15-mailboxes.conf should be
in the NEWS file
# NOTE: Assumes "namespace inbox" has been defined in 10-mail.conf.
Thanks,
Gedalya
