[Bug 239752] Re: package dovecot-common 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Hello Yes, I am a complete failure as a Linux maintainer... ;-) on the newly installed system I immediately spotted the problem (colision with another package not showing in the previous system probably because of further corruption) and confirm that after purge you can re-install dovecot-postfix. Thanks for your support Rolf, on my part you may close the bug, but the need of using purge on some systems should be investigated. If I discover anything else I will post it here.

Antonio, thank you for providing more information. FWIW, dovecot-common installs, deinstalls and reinstalls just fine here in a lucid system. Are you sure there is not another MTA running on your system? Maybe it's best for you to start a new ticket with apport-bug dovecot- common. -- package dovecot-common 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239752 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

Hi, Rolf, it does re-install after purge but doesn,t work any more. There is nothing else running on this brand-new install and everything points to corruption. A port scan with netstat gave nothing on that particular port. I am doing a fresh install, will keep you posted, this is all too confusing, I do like to post a pointed bug with trustable info behind, but here, symptoms are variable, maybe indicating either someting much more serious, or the complete failure as a linux maintainer of your humble correspondant...

Hello This is most certainly an issue, if you remove dovecot-postfix in Lucid server you cannot install it properly again. Installation ends with the message: * Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server dovecot Fatal: listen(0.0.0.0, 2000) failed: Address already in use even using apt-get --purge remove dovecot-postfix and then apt-get --purge autoremove the issue remains, and is a very serious one, preventing the use of the machine in a production environment Best regards Antonio -- package dovecot-common 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239752 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

Without further information I will assume that this is no longer an issue.

I have managed to get around this problem. It appears to be due to the presence/non-presence of some directories and files. I made sure the following were present: /var/run/dovecot/login /var/run/dovecot/login /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf I was then able to reinstall dovecot-common There is a bug 255367 which has this information in it. There was also another problem when tring to start dovecot. Warning: mail_extra_groups setting was often used insecurely so it is now deprecated, use mail_access_groups or mail_privileged_group instead This can be fixed by editing /etc/dovecot.conf change the line: mail_extra_groups = mail to: mail_access_groups = mail I found this information at http://www.rasyid.net/2008/03/11/upgrade-dovecot-1010-to-1013/ ** Changed in: dovecot (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- package dovecot-common 1:1.0.10-1ubuntu5.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239752 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
