Hello,

I tried to upgrade dovecot from 1.0.rc7 to rc22 but I got this error at the end of the upgrade process:

Dovecot has reserved the groupname 'dovecot' and gid '143': ERROR: groupname 'dovecot' already in use by gid '1003' Please resolve these issues and try again: Either remove the conflicting group or if you wish to continue using a legacy gr
oup override DOVECOT_GID. *** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/mail/dovecot.

So I went to /usr/ports/mail/dovecot and edited the Makefile to change the GID into:

DOVECOT_UID?= 1003 DOVECOT_GID?= 1003 SCRIPT_ENV+= DOVECOT_UID=${DOVECOT_UID}
DOVECOT_GID=${DOVECOT_GID}

I saved the makefile and ran portupgrade again but I got stopped by exactly the same error. I'd appreciate suggestions how to resolve this.

Thank you!

I saw this, and I think it's a freebsd-port problem...

I solved this by changing dovecot's uid and gid to 143, I think the startup script will fix permissions... (except /var/run/dovecot/login/ssl-parameters.dat or /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat, I don't remember...)

Otherwise it should work with: # portupgrade -M"DOVECOT_UID=1003 DOVECOT_GID=1003" dovecot

HTH
