Fedora Core 2: cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-3.fc2 Installation Issue

The cyrus-imapd package contains the core of the Cyrus IMAP server.

It is a scaleable enterprise mail system designed for use from

small to large enterprise environments using standards-based

internet mail technologies.

A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin

board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from

other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed"

servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in. The mailbox

database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the

Cyrus IMAP server. All user access to mail is through software using

the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. TLSv1 and SSL are supported for

security.

The recent update to cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-1.fc2 for security exploits

revealed a package installation problem. If the main configuration

files for cyrus-imapd

/etc/imapd.conf

/etc/cyrus.conf

had been locally modified for site specific purposes those changes

could be overwritten when the new updated version is installed causing

the package to lose its local configuration and behavior. Actually,

the old version the configuration files should have been preserved in

backup copies with the .rpmsave extension if the config file in the

new rpm version was different from the version in the previous rpm.

If you upgraded to cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-1.fc2 you may want to

verify the contents of these configuration files against any .rpmsave

backup copies and copy over any configuration edits.

This version of the cyrus-imapd package is identical to

cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-1.fc2 with the single exception that those

configuration files are marked as "noreplace" which means rpm will not

replace them in favor of the new rpm version, instead it will preserve

the existing version of the config file and create a copy with the

extension .rpmnew, if and only if the config file changed. This is

more friendly to existing installations.

If you have not yet installed cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-1.fc2 we

suggest you skip that version of the package and install

cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-3.fc2 instead. This eliminates the

potential to lose configuration changes.

- fix bug #141673, dup of bug #141470

Also make cyrus.conf noreplace in addition to imapd.conf

Remove the verify overrides on the noreplace config files,

we do want config file changes visible when verifying
