Are you comfortable with building a package from git? If so you can find the source at git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/dovecot.git otherwise let me know and I'll put binary packages up somewhere. -- Jaldhar H.

This bug concerns a somewhat old version (current version in both squeeze-backports and wheezy is 1:2.1.7-2). Also, the package dovecot-managesieved doesn't exist in the squeeze archive. So I can't install the same version as in the original report. Finally, the provided patch does not apply to the current dovecot-managesieved.postrm file, so I marked it as unreproducible. -- Gabriel Filion -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

tags 665487 patch thanks Hi, On Sat, Mar 24, 2012 at 05:11:33PM +0100, Laurens Blankers wrote: > When upgrading dovecot from 2.0.15-1 to 1:2.0.18-1 the configuration failed > withe errors related to managesieved. > dpkg: warning: subprocess old post-removal script returned error exit status > 1 The problem is that the postrm script of each dovecot plugin tries to start dovecot unconditionally. It should only start dovecot when the plugin was removed or purged, not when the plugin in being upgraded. In that case, the postrm will run when the files from the plugin package have been replaced by the files from the newer version, but you cannot be sure that the files from dovecot-core will be upgraded at that point. On upgrade, dovecot will be started by the postinst script of the plugin. By the time this runs, the version of dovecot-core and dovecot-(plugin) will be the same (because there is a strict versioned dependency). So there will be no version mismatch. The attached (UNTESTED!) patch probably fixes this problem for dovecot-managesieved. This problem likely affects the other dovecot plugins with similar maintainer scripts in the same way.

Bug#665487: dovecot-managesieved: Error upgrading dovecot with managesieved
Package: dovecot-managesieved
Version: 1:2.0.18-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
When upgrading dovecot from 2.0.15-1 to 1:2.0.18-1 the configuration failed
withe errors related to managesieved.
Here is the relevant output from the 'aptitude safe-upgrade':
-- BEGIN --

-- END --
At this point dovecot seems to refuse to start.
After commenting the line 9 in dovecot.conf starting with
'managesieve_notify_capability' and rerunning safe-upgrade the following errors
were encountered:
-- BEGIN --
Preparing to replace dovecot-managesieved 1:2.0.15-1 (using
.../dovecot-managesieved_1%3a2.0.18-1_i386.deb) ...

doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 10:
Unknown setting: managesieve_sieve_capability
-- END --
After commenting out line 10 in the configuration file and restarting dovecot
the mail server worked again.
Relevant lines in dovecot.conf:
9: managesieve_notify_capability = mailto
10 managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character
vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy
include variables body enotify environment mailbox date imapflags
Expected outcome: upgrading would have worked without causing dovecot to fail
to start.
Actual outcome: manual intervention was required to revive dovecot
Classification: grave, because upgrade left dovecot unable to start
Sincerly,
Laurens
