I ran into this problem while upgrading 8.04 to 10.04 for a system running Domain Technologie Control (DTC) web admin panel. I fixed it by getting the source package for courier-maildrop, editing the configure.in in the maildrop directory as follows:
dnl if test "$COURIERAUTHCONFIG" != "" dnl then AUTHINCLUDE=`$COURIERAUTHCONFIG --cppflags` dnl AUTHLDADD="`$COURIERAUTHCONFIG --ldflags` -lcourierauth" dnl RPD: also had to add -L for the authlib library dir AUTHLDADD="`$COURIERAUTHCONFIG --ldflags` -L/usr/lib/courier-authlib/ -lcourierauth" AUTHLIB=1 dnl fi which forces compilation with authlib, then doing a dpkg-buildpackage -sn -uc, installing the new .deb, and then locking the version so that it wouldn't get stomped in a future upgrade. The crucial step in diagnosing the problem was seeing that authtest from the command line would verify the user, but maildrop -v showed that base version of maildrop with 10.04 was not compiled with support for courier authlib. After recompilation, maildrop -v showed maildrop had authlib support in it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298085 Title: maildrop is compiled without authlib extension ! -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
