Hi, Yesterday night I upgraded the automated packages built at Xi to the latest experimental Debian packages for v2.0. This unfortunately causes a problem upon upgrade. I've contacted the maintainer, so this issue should resolve itself soon. The issue manifests as follows: Setting up dovecot-imapd (2:2.0.11-0~auto+25) ... ucfr: Attempt from package dovecot-imapd to take /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf away from package dovecot-common ucfr: Aborting. dpkg: error processing dovecot-imapd (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4 configured to not write apport reports The Debian maintainer split dovecot-common in various new packages and moved config files in the process. Use ucfr --purge --force dovoecot-imapd /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf ucfr --purge --force dovoecot-managesieved /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf ucfr --purge --force dovoecot-sieve /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf to get rid of these errors as a workaround. I did this in combination with temporarily purging and removing Dovecot, but that is probably not necessary. Once you have upgraded, you will not encounter this problem again. And yes, if you are using Sieve, be sure to install the new dovecot-sieve and dovecot-managesieved packages. Regards, Stephan.
