Hi Simon,

I did, and it was suprisingly easy. I really don't like doing make
install and not being able to revert to a previous dbmail version, so I
built my own dbmail amd64 binary packages. As a help for other debian
users having the same problem, this is what I did  (no guarantees) on my
debian etch amd64 box:

* make sure you have the right packages to build it
(http://debian.nfgd.net/debian/dists/stable/main/source/Sources under
'Build-Depends'
* add "deb-src http://debian.nfgd.net/debian stable main" to
your /etc/apt/sources.list

Get the source:
# mkdir /root/buildtmp
# cd /root/buildtmp
# apt-get source dbmail

Build it:
# apt-get -b source dbmail
Now you get the dbmail, dbmail-mysql and dbmail-pgsql .deb files. 

First backup your config files and then use "dpkg -i <file> <file>" to
install the packages of your choice.

If you packages don't work, you can always install a previous version,
apt-get installed packages are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/
you could always do a "dpkg
-i /var/cache/apt/archives/dbmail_<oldrevisionhere>_amd64.deb" to revert
back.

dpkg -i does *not* copy the file to /var/cache/apt/archives/. You should
do that yourself.

Grtz, Casper
