Hi,
we had the same problem. After upgrade was created only mailboxes, which
had uniqueid in database. We can check it in dump:
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/cvt_cyrusdb /var/lib/cyrus/mailboxes.db twoskip
/tmp/aaa.txt flat;
folder without uniqueid doesn't have "I" in dump /tmp/aaa.txt.
It can be repaired _before_ upgrade with:
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -I
...
pokus.cz!test: update uniqueid from header (null) => 7f54216e52e02e7c
...
I hope, that this repaired mailboxes.db can be upgraded without problem
and will check it in few days.
I copy mailboxes.db without "reconstruct -I" to test bookworm system and
run "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb -r". After that:
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d | wc -l
458
I run "reconstruct -I" on test source system and copy to test bookworm
system, and run "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/ctl_cyrusdb -r". After that:
/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d | wc -l
2280
And there is typo in postinst in cyrus-common package (you must test
zero size and compare version in variable $2, not $1):
===
case "$1" in
configure)
# Refuse to update if previous version is lower than
3.2.6-2+deb11u2~
if [ -z "$1" ] || $(dpkg --compare-versions $1 lt
'3.2.6-2+deb11u2~'); then
echo "You must update cyrus-imapd to at least version
3.2.6-2+deb11u2~" >&2
echo "before updating it to version 3.6.x and run it, else
your mailboxes" >&2
echo "may be corrupted" >&2
exit 1
fi
