Moving ISPConfig3 from Ubuntu to Debian

I find this very odd hehe

Code:

node01:~# apt-get --purge remove dovecot
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package dovecot is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
node01:~# /etc/init.d/dovecot start
node01:~# /etc/init.d/dovecot stop
node01:~#

 

What's in /etc/init.d/dovecot?

 

This is the contents:

Code:

Do /usr/sbin/dovecot and /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf exist?

 

Code:

node01:~# cat /usr/sbin/dovecot
cat: /usr/sbin/dovecot: No such file or directory

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf does exist though.

Code:

node01:~# ls -la /etc/dovecot/
total 176
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 2010-11-05 23:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 95 root root  4096 2010-11-12 16:23 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 45557 2010-11-05 23:34 dovecot.conf.bak

-r--------  1 root root  5127 2010-11-05 03:20 dovecot-sql.conf~

Thanks again.

 

I don't know why it didn't remove the other Dovecot files, but the most important thing is that /usr/sbin/dovecot is gone, so Dovecot cannot be started anymore.

 

Thanks for your assistance, much apprecited. I'll leave it at that
