I just updated MySQL to Server version: 5.5.8 on my FreeBSD-8.2

Now Dovecot refuses to run. Prior to this, dovecot had been running

This is the output of "dovecot -n"

I have tried deleting and rebuilding dovecot without success. I am
at a
lose to figure out what the problem is.
What version of mysql were you at before?
Do your mysql logs reveal anything?
Have you turned on mysql query logging?
Can you run the /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf queries in a mysql
client successfully?
