I was trying the same procedure here : upgrade problem 2.0.16 Berkeley
DB 3 to 2.2.12 Berkeley DB 4
I have used the ctl_mboxlist -d to dump the old db3 mailboxes.db file ,
on the old machine . After a copy to the new
machine with 2.2.12 Berkeley DB 4, I did a ctl_mboxlist -u., and a new
mailboxes.db was created.
It was ok, running perfect.
But I would like to convert Berkeley DB do skiplist, and when I did the
following, there was a problem :
./cvt_cyrusdb /cyrus/imap/mailboxes.db berkeley-nosync
/cyrus/imap/mailboxes.db.new skiplist
Converting from /cyrus/imap/mailboxes.db (berkeley-nosync) to
/cyrus/imap/mailboxes.db.new (skiplist)
fatal error: can't open old database <<<<
Could anybody help me? If its working with DB4 why it can't read it?
Thanks - Sandra

Has anybody got an idea ? Where did I go wrong ? Could it be a result of
running version 2.2.12 cvt_cyrusdb while 2.0.16 is still up ?
Running two different versions (or even having them present on the
system) of BDB libraries is always somewhat a problem. Save yourself
a lot of trouble and use Cyrus' utilities to dump the mailbox database
into a text file (ctl_mboxlist -d) on the old system, then read the
database back with ctl_mboxlist -u on the new installation.
cvt_cyrusdb is used to convert between two different Cyrus database
backends, not to upgrade a Berkeley database.
