I tracked down the cause of the problem but am still looking for the source.
For some reason perl man pages are being installed to /usr/man instead of /usr/shared/man This causes the find /var/tmp/cyrus-imapd-2.1.10-root/usr/share/man -type f -name "Cyrus*" to find nothing and the following string of commands to fail with an error. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
