I just realized that my debconf setting was set to ignore questions with a priority less than 'high'. I lowered it to ignore questions with a priority less than 'low', and reinstalling imapproxy does not ask me for the server_hostname. Granted, it was already set, but I thought it should have asked.
I am certain I was not asked for this value when I initially installed imapproxy on sarge, nor on etch. In fact, on my production web server this value was still at 'localhost'. When I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow imapproxy' to set it to my actual mail server's hostname, it overwrote /etc/imapproxy.conf and, as a consequence, deleted some comments I had put in the file. I read through some of the other bug reports related to this issue and I understand that imapproxy now needs to connect to an imap server on startup, but the current package behavior is annoying as there is no way to figure out from the error message what one must do to get the installation to succeed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
