Bug#770695: Dovecot-core unable to finish its installation
I just tested the latest 1:2.2.13-11 and all went perfectly. No hangs. No file conflicts. All good! Thank you and everyone for persevering on this problem!

Bug#770695: Dovecot-core unable to finish its installation
I just upgraded dovecot 1:2.2.13-10. I also tested --reinstall. There were no hangs. The upgrade completed without the previous hang problem. I did however run into a file conflict which I reported as https://bugs.debian.org/772885 I think that might simply be a bad -8 and will test and followup for that issue in that report. In the meantime I didn't have any hang problems with -10. Yay! Thanks for giving this problem all of your efforts.

So after some further testing I think your latest version somehow did solve the problem without me noticing it because it *did* hang during the very first upgrade from 2.2.13-8 to 2.2.13-9 but did not hang reinstalling it. As I still have older versions in my archives (2.2.13-6 to 2.2.13-9) I downgraded to the oldest version, *** dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dovecot-core_1%3a2.2.13-6_amd64.deb *** which was hanging during downgrade at the point it ever hangs, after restart of the IMAP server: ** [ ok ] Starting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecot. ** htop always showed dovecot-core.po in it's list doing nothing, all values being 0 except in column S where it was marked Z. This time I didn't kill dpkg (pkill dpkg in a new console) but simply run ctrl-C. Afterwards I could run dpkg --configure -a which apparently did what had to be done and finished with showing me the prompt. This happened with all versions from *13-6 to *13-8 . Same goes for dovecot-core.po . Only exception: your latest version where there was a problem only with the *very first* upgrade. Now during my tests I could upgrade this version without problems. Maybe todays dist-upgrade changed something in some somehow related package, I don't know.

Bug#770695: Dovecot-core unable to finish its installation
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.

At the present time the only changes I have outstanding are in the 10-mail.conf file. My theory was that somehow ucf was not registering that file in its database but never mind thats not it. Debian user Chris Gilbert did some testing on his own and found that explicitly stopping debconf prevents the hang.

This bug report applies to the latest ***four versions*** of dovecot-core (and maybe to dovecot-imapd), no problems with earlier versions: Install/update (I tried both on two different systems, 32/64 bit) ***reliably*** hangs after restarting IMAP: ** ~# apt-get install dovecot-core -t=experimental dovecot-imapd -t=experimental Paketlisten werden gelesen...

To overcome the hanging update I needed to kill dpkg (which then remains locked). After reboot ~# dpkg --configure -a may work if no other packages were involved during a failed dist-upgrade: *** dovecot-core (1:2.2.15-1) wird eingerichtet ...

Or maybe some backup from around when you had -5 or 6 installed. How would previous changes to that file explain the current hang upon a --reinstall? At the present time the only changes I have outstanding are in the 10-mail.conf file. I do actually use etckeeper and can reach back in time to pull forward previous file versions. However the current state of those files is enough to trigger the problem so it doesn't seem necessary to reach back in time to find a previous version. The current state is sufficient to do it. Hmm... It appears to leave it in a state that reconfiguring again succeeds. ... Yes, by this time the new config file has been installed and whatever caused the hang has been overwritten. Hmm... I am not seeing any dialog prompts about merging new configuration files. I haven't seen any ucf prompts. If you are suspicious of the ucf config file handling then 10-mail.conf is locally modified. I will make some experients there. But again if I --reinstall then the problem is recreated. It is repeatable on my system. Unfortunately I can't reproduce this. Can you run the command ucfq dovecot-core before and after reinstalling? It will tell us if any config file has changed. Yes.

As I understand the current situation -7 is installing a new version of 10-ssl.conf with those lines commented out when they shouldn't be. If they are not commented out and the postinst is still hanging then yes there is a (new?) problem. -- Jaldhar H.

It was the missing certificates which were causing the postinst to hang. I have just uploaded 1:2.2.13-7 which should fix this problem. It is going into unstable now and will reach testing (Jessie) in another 10 days. If you want to continue with -6, you can fix it yourself by commenting out the ssl_cert and ssl_key entries from /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf (or making sure they point to valid certificates) and reinstalling. -- Jaldhar H.
