This nightmare of expanding problems has been going on for three

decision to base our business (and our lives) on Debian and I remain
a firm advocate. I also recognise that over successive releases,
accommodating a plethora of configurations becomes harder and that at
some point a step changes in the foundations of the system are
required. I'm presuming that the transition to systemd from sysv-init
was an essential step and understand that backwards compatibility
becomes more challenging as time goes on.
Just when I thought life couldn't get anymore bizarre, dovecot-imapd and
core have disappeared off server_M this morning along with the config
files which had the cert info in. The mail on server_U is working fine.
I've looked in the apt-log and there's no indication it was uninstalled
which is not surprising because it was working fine in the early hours
of this morning.
