Ok thanks, for the moment : can I just delete the lines in the dovecot-init.service file or what is proposed here? It's no problem for me to make the necessary changes I just need to know which of them because I don't know if you just need this fiel internally or not.

Thanks

We are planning to fix this for 2.3.1 release.

Hi,

are there any news on this? Or do we have to go the way install old dovecot/remove it or upgrade instead of clean install? Because as the ssl-params executaböe is missing in 2.3.0 I don't know how else I should create it. If this file isn't even needed for 2.3.0 can it be a file with any content eg 'touch /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat' so that the file is just there and dovecot-init.servive doesn't want to call the /usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params executable?

Thanks, Thomas

Hi,

you definitely have a problem with the packages out of your own repo for version 2.3.0 and CentOS. And this is only if you do a clean install, meaning there was no lower dovecot version ever running on the system.

If you want to 'systemctl start dovecot' it breaks with a dependency error which comes from dovecot-init.service.

dovecot-init.service : [Unit] Description=One-time Dovecot init service ConditionPathExists=|!/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat ConditionPathExists=|!/etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem

[Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=no ExecStart=/bin/sh -c '
if [ ! -f /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ];
then
SSLDIR=/etc/pki/dovecot/ OPENSSLCONFIG=/etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot-openssl.cnf /usr/libexec/dovecot/mkcert.sh /dev/null 2>&1;
fi;
if [ ! -f /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat ];
then
/usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params >/dev/null 2>&1;
fi'

It wants to call /usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params if /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat (which is deprecated now as I understood) is not existing. The problem is in 2.3.0 /usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params is not existent anymore.

This error does not occur if you for instance install 2.2.x from the base repo, start it once, and then update the version from your repo. This is because the ssl-parameters.dat was created with the old version then.

But this should not be the expected behaviour I think. It should be possible to do a fresh install of 2.3.0 on a fresh system.

Can you please get back to me on that?

Thanks, Thomas

Thank you for reporting this, we'll look into it.
