how to solve : Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v2.1.7, lmtp is v2.2.13
Hello again dovecot list ;) I've recently upgraded my dovecot version from 2.1.7 to 2.2.13. both versions where installed from source. I upgraded why attempting to get lmtp working. I ultimately just coped the executable lmtp to the location that dovecot was expecting it to be in. but then the above error appeared. However when I get the info from dovecot I get the following... $ dovecot -n # 2.2.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf so there seems to be an issue somewhere. I should note that I had copied my previous /conf.d/ files and then copied them back after the update. I guess that I have missed a switch during the build, or need to modify a line in the config somewhere that tells what the version is, but that doesn't explain why the dovecot -n returns the correct info, but the error reports something different. I am considering inserting the version_ignore=yes config option, but where should I insert it ? Thanks in advance.

@Reindl. I copied my conf.d folder as I deleted all the dovecot files in etc/dovecot use/etc/dovecot etc ... ... When I installed the new 2.2.13 version it didn't seem to want to put the lmtp executable into the location that dovecot was expecting ? So I found the file and copied it to where it was expected to be. I then copied my old (backed up) conf.d bact to etc/dovecot/conf.d/ Performed a restart of dovecot, and got the above error. Quite simple really. But where else does dovecot store files, so as I can get all the errant files. David.

So I found the file and copied it to where it was expected to be. and there started your mistake just test builds somewhere and realize if it comes to so i found the file and copied it something went terrible wrong - that's why you build usually *packages* - rpmbuild complains as long you have not listed all files in the %files section or if there are listed ones no longer built for a clean upgrade you need to replace *every* file and in doubt get rid of orphans - just build packages or use a virtual machine with a snapshot to try as long you know what lives where I then copied my old (backed up) conf.d bact to etc/dovecot/conf.d/ Performed a restart of dovecot, and got the above error.
