Package: dovecot-common Version: 1:1.1.11-1 Severity: wishlist I just migrated to 1.1.11-1 and found that it fails to run due to a change in a directive name:
default_mail_env => mail_location It is understandable that you cannot manage all directive upgrades in dovecot.conf but this is a very silly one. Please, provide migration hooks in your postconf at least for so obvious things. Having to check by hands tons of stupid changes among many packages is very tedious and error-prone at upgrading time. Try to manage at least the most straightforward changes. Also, possibly convince upstream to retain old directives in one or two new major releases and issuing a deprecation warning instead of forcing a failure. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dovecot-common depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.9-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.3-1 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libmysqlclient15off 5.0.77-1 MySQL database client library ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-5 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq5 8.3.6-1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libsqlite3-0 3.5.9-6 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15 SSL shared libraries ii openssl 0.9.8g-15 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime dovecot-common recommends no packages.
