If any of you are building courier from source for installation on Ubuntu 24.04 (which has deleted all the courier packages), you need to install the generated .deb's in a specific order. This command will work:
$ for i in libcourier-auth-config-daemon-daemon_0.72.3-100_amd64.deb libcourier-unicode8_2.3.1-100_amd64.deb libcourier- auth0_0.72.3-100_amd64.deb libcourier-auth_0.72.3-100_amd64.deb courier_1.3.13-100_amd64.deb courier-imapd_1.3.13-100_amd64.deb courier- webadmin_1.3.13-100_amd64.deb courier-webadmin- apache2_1.3.13-100_amd64.deb; do dpkg -i $i;done If you attempt to install them all at once (e.g. dpkg -i *), some of the pre-install dependencies will not be met (i.e., some packages require that other packages have been configured first). Save your /etc/courier off (e.g. cd /etc;rsync -aAX courier/ courier- save/) then remove /etc/courier. Before installing the .deb's, purge all the old courier packages, then install the .debs you built from source using the above command, then replace the installed /etc/courier with your old one (rsync in reverse). Edit your /etc/courier/esmtpd to change MAILUSER and MAILGROUP to daemon, as the standard courier debs install executables under that user (vs courier). I'm still trying to get someone's attention to learn why the courier packages were removed from 24.04, as it seems the PCRE reason is erroneous. Using the recipe in my prior comment may work for you but since then, the other courier packages have also been deleted from 24.04/Noble so you've got to go find all the other packages from the deleted archives too. Just build from source for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2071662 Title: courier-imap, courier-imap-ssl, courier-pop, and courier-pop-ssl missing from Ubuntu 24.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/courier/+bug/2071662/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
