I am trying to upgrade the version of dovecot on a rarely-maintained Debian machine with which I almost never have problems (ain't Linux wonderful?). The current version is 1.0.rc15-2, and I think the latest version is 1.2 something, but the point is that I want to be able to use the pigeonhole sieve plugin. Anyway, when I try to "apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d", it gets to this: So, this leads to two issues: 1. If I ever even wanted gnomemeeting on this machine, which is a server that doesn't even have a GUI on it, what repository am I missing? 2. Obviously, though, I don't want gnomemeeting on this machine anyway. Why in the world would a Mail User Agent like dovecot depend on having a "H.323 and SIP compatible VoIP client"? I don't get this at all. Do I really need gnomemeeting? And, if not, how do I tell it to install anyway? How did dovecot come to depend on this? TIA, Allen
Well, it appears I really need to upgrade, but until I've researched the upgrade steps enough to be confident I can do it remotely, I've temporarily resolved this thusly: Get rid of explicit references to etch in sources.list and replace with stable or testing. Then, and, after tweaking ssl_disable and mail_extra_groups in the dovecot config file (i. e., commenting them out), all works with imap. Haven't checked pop3. Any further insights regarding the upgrade would be appreciated. Thanks!
