Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1:2.0.12-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The shipped init script failes to use -c ${CONF} when calling doveconf to
determine PIDBASE, resulting in:
a) The following warning:
doveconf: Warning: Dovecot was last started using
/etc/doublecheck/dovecot/dovecot.conf, but this config is
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
b) In the case that the base dir was changed in the specified config
file, great
breakage and mayhem.
A one-line patch to solve the problem by calling doveconf with -c
${CONF} is attached.
