Hi,

I use Debian Squeeze and the sources from Stephan Bosch. A few weeks ago I´ve upgraded from 2.0.11 to 2.0.13 and got an error

May 29 20:01:53 mailserver dovecot: dict: Error: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext: Permission denied May 29 20:01:53 mailserver dovecot: dict: Error: Failed to initialize dictionary 'quota'

and I could see that /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext is owning by root:root with 600. After changing to root:root 644 all works, but after each upgrade all files in /etc/dovecot will be set to 600.

Is it a problem of the dovecot package or should I do some changes to config to allow dovecot reading the dict file?

Here is my config:
