Guys,
The dovecot update needs to be fixed. Currently, on upgrade you get:
checking package integrity... (288/288) checking for file conflicts [#####################################] 100% error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) dovecot: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
which is a bit frustrating. I know we talked a little about fixing dovecot (and other packages that break if upgraded but not restarted) so I don't know if this is related (I thought the discussion/debate was whether to add a one-liner advising that a dovecot restart was required), but in any event, related or not, dovecot should update without failing due to the existing dovecot.conf
Do I open a ticket or is this post enough?
I have asked this question of whether to open a ticket on every bug or whether little items like this are preferred to be worked from the list w/o a ticket opened at least 3 times now and I have never received an answer (I apologize if I have missed it). I want to help Arch the best way I can. If you want bugs opened on everything, let me know -- I'm happy to open them. If you can work an issue from the list, then at least let me know "I'll take it from here" so I know things are not being missed. Thanks.
I forced the update and: warning: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf installed as /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.pacnew
