Ok, maybe it is not necessary, for them to have the same version.
After the last update of dovecot from 0.99.14-1 to 0.99.20050712-1
dovecot went into an infinite loop. The output in the syslog was:


Jul 21 13:18:47 home dovecot: Dovecot starting up
Jul 21 13:18:48 home dovecot: login: fd_read() couldn't read all req

[...]

When I stopped dovecote my syslog was already 38MB big ...
After updating dovecot-common everything is working fine again.
