Re: [Dovecot] recent dovecot: assertion failed.

Hi Sergey,

Hi, today I have built dovecot from cvs sources, and upgraded server from beta-7 to this newer version. Then i got problems with opening INBOX using thunderbird 1.5.0.2. The client says "Opening folder...", then, after about half a minute, blinking "connecting to the server" and returning to "Opening folder..." /var/log/maillog gets the messages:

Jun 22 17:19:07 parkheights dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<seriv>, method=plain, rip=66.80.117.2, lip=192.168.10.14, TLS Jun 22 17:19:26 parkheights dovecot: IMAP(seriv): file index-search.c: line 845 (search_get_seqset): assertion failed: (ctx->seq1 <= ctx->seq2) Jun 22 17:19:26 parkheights dovecot: child 25812 (imap) killed with signal 6

and this lines repeat and repeat.

At the same time I can open some INBOX' subfolders at the same server. So, I think it is a problem not with a server's software, but with mail storage. Help me, please, - how can I fix these indexes, or what causes the problem with access to that mail folder? My dovecot's configs are:

# dovecot -a -n protocols: imaps pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/key.pem login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login default_mail_env: maildir:/home/%u/.imap lock_method: flock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

I guess this problem was generated by one of this patches: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005915.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005917.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005918.html http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-June/005919.html

So, with dovecot-20060620.tar.gz or dovecot-20060621.tar.gz you will have this problem. Try dovecot-20060619.tar.gz. It works great for me.
