Dear Steffen, Variant 2 does look more challenging but I don't think its necessary if dovecot-solr is already available and installed. I guess the problem is with something else. Thanks Kevin

Any faster means? Also cant get dpkg-dev installed on my system.
Well, this is the Debian way, so why would dpkg-dev balk at installation? On Debian based machines, this should be the easiest way ;-)

variant 2) Pull the sources from dovecot.org via tarball or mercurial. If you need Sieve and other plugins, I would not call this variant easier.
Then you have to option to
2a) try to apply the configuration from the Debian package to the source, in order to have a replacement for the original package, or
2b) create a new configuration from scratch with help from the Debian package, but to install into /usr/local or /opt.
