retitle 301213 ipop3: upgrade to 7:2002edebian1-6.1 fails (grep)
reassign 301213 uw-imapd,ipopd
severity 301213 serious
tag 301213 patch
thanks
I'm seeing exactly the same problem here. The "you already have..." message
isn't the problem - it's the previous line about the pre-installation script.
This is caused by there being no imap line in inetd.conf: grep exits with
code 1 if no matching lines were found. Unfortunately, the "set -e" catches
this and treats it as an error.
It looks like this bug was introduced by the fix for 295306; as such, it
applies to both uw-imapd and ipopd.
