[Bug 646858] Re: dovecot-postfix and upstart incompatibility
I did a fresh install of dovecot-postfix on Maverick, including:
dovecot-common 1:1.2.12-1ubuntu5
postfix 2.7.1-1
I had no problem restarting dovecot:
$ sudo service dovecot restart
dovecot start/running, process 2490
Or upgrading dovecot-postfix:
Unpacking replacement dovecot-postfix ...
Setting up dovecot-postfix (1:1.2.11-1ubuntu1) ...
Configuring postfix for dovecot-postfix integration: done.
dovecot start/running, process 3015
* Stopping Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ OK ]
* Starting Postfix Mail Transport Agent postfix [ OK ]
So it looks like it's not 100% reproducible, or only affects busy
dovecot instances ?
The classic init script had a do_stop that would run twice in a row
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry=0/30/KILL/5 --pidfile
$PIDFILE --name ${DAEMON##*/}... maybe that's why it succeeds in your
case.

[Bug 646858] Re: dovecot-postfix and upstart incompatibility
After more investigation it seems that the issue is triggered by managesieve: when managesieve is enabled dovecot forks multiple times which leads upstart to loose track of it. If managesieve is disabled upstart is correctly tracking dovecot. The posted debdiff fixes the problem. Please upload to Maverick. ** Changed in: dovecot (Ubuntu Maverick) Status: Confirmed = In Progress ** Summary changed: - dovecot-postfix and upstart incompatibility + upstart unable to correctly track dovecot daemon when managesieve plugin is enabled ** Description changed: + + When the managesieve plugin is enabled it seems that dovecot forks once more than what upstart expects. Upstart tracks the wrong pid with expect fork set. + + + Original description + Binary package hint: dovecot-postfix Dovecot on Maverick is now using upstart to launch dovecot. When dovecot-postfix is installed, the dovecot must have some component as root (for SASL authentification purpose, in order to write to postfix chroot). Problem is, the system can start dovecot on boot, but any attempt into using restart dovecot will result in a hang of upstart. CTRL+C can cancel it, but then dovecot is in a strange state, with half the processus presents in memory. This is not the correct behavior, as we except a smooth restart of such an important service of the mail (especially if SASL authentification of postfix is involved). - As a workaround, I replace the symlink to upstart by the old init.d original script from ubuntu 10.04.1. + As a workaround, I replace the symlink to upstart by the old init.d original script from ubuntu 10.04.1. I try to figure out a clean solution, but apparently this is inherent to upstart and explains why some package, such as apache, did not go on the upstart train already. ** Also affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- upstart unable to correctly track dovecot daemon when managesieve plugin is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

I meant to add that I can't do normal updates, so this is a security issue as far as I'm concerned. I haven't found a way to not update dovecot-postfix, and it blocks all other updates.

[Bug 646858] Re: dovecot-postfix and upstart incompatibility
I had the same situation. I finish by rebooting to solve the 1st update lockout on the first occurrence. On the second, I just change conveniently the upstart script by the genuine one and the return code was OK for the update to complete. In order to find a clean upstart-based solution, I try to switch to expect daemon in /etc/init/dovecot.conf to insure upstart being capable of tracking dovecot process, but I've got the same hangup problem. Question is, is upstart capable of tracking program launched in a unprivileged way by the daemon ? The only similar reference I'm thinking of is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582745 . ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #582745 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=582745 -- dovecot-postfix and upstart incompatibility https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646858 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
