Topic: Yum Update killed dovecot

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.3

- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:  CentOS 6.4
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====
Did a yum update and dovecot failed to start on reboot. Errors listed below:
Jun 18 12:07:46 config: Error: Module is for different version 2.0.21: /usr/lib/dovecot/settings/libmanagesieve_login_settings.so
Jun 18 12:07:46 config: Error: Module is for different version 2.0.21: /usr/lib/dovecot/settings/libmanagesieve_settings.so

Managed to get it working by editing the enabled protocols line as below:
protocols = pop3 imap #sieve

What killed it and what am I missing ?

Re: Yum Update killed dovecot

Did you update below 3 packages?

- dovecot-managesieve (0.2.6-22)
- dovecot-pigeonhole (0.2.6-22)
- dovecot (2.0.21)

Yum update on all three packages returns "No packages marked for Update"
If you mean did I download the latest packages and build them from scratch then no, that is against my policy of only updating from repositories.

Re: Yum Update killed dovecot

*) Could you please show us output of command "yum repolist"?
*) iRedMail has Dovecot-2.0.21 in its own yum repo, do you have it enabled? http://www.iredmail.org/yum/rpms/6/

Yes I have the iRedmail repo enabled. When I did the update it pulled in one dovecot file but that was all.. File shown below:

Jun 18 11:32:38 mail yum[28344]: Updated: 2:dovecot-managesieve-0.2.6-22.el6.i686

[EDIT] Ok, yum priorities for iRedMail repo is set lower to CentOS base, thus excluding the other Dovecot packages from the iRedMail repo. Whilst I can change the priority for the iRedMail repo, this tends to go against the whole reason for priorities in the first place. The base repos get the highest priority and all 3rd party repos get a lower priority, thus preventing conflicts and maintaining security. Any suggestions on how to get around this ?

Re: Yum Update killed dovecot

iRedMail contains just few packages, it should be fine to set it to a higher priority.
