Package: dovecot-common Version: 1.0.alpha3-2.0.1 Severity: important Dovecot does not start, executing /usr/sbin/dovecot as root just makes no effect:
# /usr/sbin/dovecot # ps aux | grep dovecot # No diagnostincs, nothing in syslog. strace shows that one of the spawned processes (/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login) tries to load libz.so and fails, which later produces an error message in this process: Can't load certificate file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: error:25066067:DSO support rout ines:DLFCN_LOAD:could not load the shared library. Unfortunately, I can't see this message on my console, perhaps because stderr is redirected in that process. /usr/lib/libz.so is part of the zlib1g-dev package, which is not required for normal operation (only for building of packages that use zlib). Instead, programs should load libz.so.1. I have temporarily worked around this problem by installing zlib1g-dev, but I hope this bug will be fixed soon. I'm not sure, but maybe the bug was introduced as the result of upgrading to openssl0.9.8 (I have upgraded dovecot and openssl simultaneously). Also some kind of better diagnostic for startup failures is necessary. If it's not possible to use stderr because it's redirected away, why not use syslog instead? I had to use strace to find out what was happening, and that's wrong. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (995, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Versions of packages dovecot-common depends on: ii adduser 3.67.2 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libldap2 2.1.30-12 OpenLDAP libraries ii libmysqlclient12 4.0.24-10sarge1 mysql database client library ii libpam-runtime 0.79-3 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpq4 8.0.3-15 PostgreSQL C client library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-2 SSL shared libraries ii openssl 0.9.8a-2 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-4 compression library - runtime dovecot-common recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
