Hi Timo,
Dovecot fails to start after upgrading from 1.1.4 to 1.1.6:
Fatal: userdb didn't return a home directory, but mail location used it
(%h): %h/mail:CONTROL=%h/control:INDEX=%h/index
Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Adding a fake home directory to args in
master-settings.c:get_imap_capability solved the problem for me, but
there may be a more correct fix.
Regards,
Thorsten

It'll log errors, but it still works. Wonder how many people will have this problem.. Perhaps I'll have to release 1.1.7 just because of it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
