Bug#665487: dovecot-managesieved: Error upgrading dovecot with managesieved

[Laurens Blankers]

Package: dovecot-managesieved
Version: 1:2.0.18-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

When upgrading dovecot from 2.0.15-1 to 1:2.0.18-1 the configuration failed withe errors related to managesieved.

Here is the relevant output from the 'aptitude safe-upgrade':

-- BEGIN --

-- END --

At this point dovecot seems to refuse to start.

After commenting the line 9 in dovecot.conf starting with 'managesieve_notify_capability' and rerunning safe-upgrade the following errors were encountered:

-- BEGIN --
Preparing to replace dovecot-managesieved 1:2.0.15-1 (using .../dovecot-managesieved_1%3a2.0.18-1_i386.deb) ...

doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 10: Unknown setting: managesieve_sieve_capability
-- END --

After commenting out line 10 in the configuration file and restarting dovecot the mail server worked again.

Relevant lines in dovecot.conf:

9: managesieve_notify_capability = mailto
10 managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date imapflags

Expected outcome: upgrading would have worked without causing dovecot to fail to start.

Actual outcome: manual intervention was required to revive dovecot

Classification: grave, because upgrade left dovecot unable to start

Sincerly,

Laurens
