That's just the packaging scripts making sure the relevant directories exist and have the correct permissions and ownership. The differences between 2.2.13 and 2.2.13-14+lenny3 are tiny so you almost certainly have nothing to worry about. If you're paranoid there's always diff. And rsync ;-) Cheers Duncan -- Duncan Gibb - Technical Director Sirius Corporation plc - control through freedom http://www.siriusit.co.uk/ || t: +44 870 608 0063 Debian Cyrus Team - https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-cyrus-imapd/ Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
