That's because I installed the RPM from atrpms.net using "--nodeps".
The RPM requires the above SQL library module, among others (inc.
postgresql and sqlite). However:
- Why do I need ANY SQL library??? I want PAM to do the authorization.
- If I have to use SQL, I want Dovecot to use PostgreSQL (which I have installed and am using in another application).
I hope the above is a dumb question, because that means the fix is easy. No, I'd rather not build my own; that's why I picked an RPM.
Running Fedora Core 1.
