Bug#644121: dovecot-core: destroys user configuration from dovecot-common

I attempted to reproduce your problem. These are the steps I used to reproduce: 1) pbuilder --login 2) replace sources.list with the following line: deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110623T151535Z/ sid main 3) update and install dovecot-imapd 4) modify /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf 5) replace sources.list with the original 6) aptitude update aptitude safe-upgrade 7) notice that my changes are preserved. This procedure was done using precisely the same versions (1:2.0.13-1.1 and 1:2.0.15-1). Apparently ucf doesn't handle this situation well (a package being renamed), so some manual hacks in the postinst are in order to prevent this from happening. You are correct in that ucf does not handle this situation well. However the package maintainer has foreseen this and has added his own hooks for precisely this situation. Can you give any other hint on how to reproduce the problem? Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Helmut 4) modify /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Helmut Can you give any other hint on how to reproduce the problem? It has been a while and I have a tendency to forget moments of pain as quickly as I can ;-) But if I remember right, it wasn't dovecot.conf I was talking about here, but rather the bit files in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#644121: dovecot-core: destroys user configuration from dovecot-common
Package: dovecot-core
Version: 1:2.0.15-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3
I was upgrading via aptitude:
[REMOVE, NOT USED] dovecot-common
[INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] dovecot-core
[UPGRADE] dovecot-imapd 1:2.0.13-1.1 - 1:2.0.15-1
This resulted in all my local configuration in /etc/dovecot/ being
trashed, and overwritten with the shipped dovecot-core versions.
Apparently ucf doesn't handle this situation well (a package being
renamed), so some manual hacks in the postinst are in order to prevent
this from happening.
