Guys,
Sending mail from my local server resulted in errors "could not copy sent mail to 'sent' on servername? Checking the mail logs, I found this:
<snip> Aug 2 17:15:03 nirvana dovecot: imap-login: Fatal: Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v1.2.12, login is v1.2.13 (if you don't care, set version_ignore=yes) Aug 2 17:15:03 nirvana dovecot: imap-login: Fatal: Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v1.2.12, login is v1.2.13 (if you don't care, set version_ignore=yes) <snip>
So I restarted dovecot -- problem solved. That brought up the question, why didn't pacman restart dovecot with some post-install something?? So should it have? If it didn't, does this need to be reported?
Because of KISS? Pacman is a package manager, not a system administration tool. Imagine the story with a different daemon: SSH. You ssh into your box, su, and pacman -Syu. Halfway through the upgrade, openssh gets updated, which automatically restarts the server, which SIGHUPs pacman, which is left in an inconsistent state.
Let me know. Thanks.
