Description Sven E. 2018-08-31 19:14:21 UTC
During startup, the init script produces an error msg, as far as I can tell, it is not fatal.

doveconf: Error: t_readlink(/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: readlink() failed: No such file or director

The message is produced by doveconf and indeed the link in run is not present, when dovecot is not running.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dovecot-2.3.2.1
2. see said error during startup

Actual Results:  
error msg

Expected Results:  
no error msg

Since doveconf behaves the way it does, either check the existance of the link and create it (if not present yet) during startup or suppress the error msg, which might make diagnostics tricky, when something else goes wrong.
Comment 1 Gerald Raaf 2018-09-07 12:11:16 UTC
the problem is this line #25 in init script

when you change 
DOVECOT_BASEDIR=$(/usr/sbin/dovecot -c ${DOVECOT_CONF} -a | grep '^base_dir = ' | sed 's/^base_dir = //')

to 

DOVECOT_BASEDIR=$(/usr/sbin/dovecot -c ${DOVECOT_CONF} config -h base_dir)

you don't get an error message an DOVECOT_BASEDIR is set correctly.

Got the same error after upgrading today, seems like it's not fatal and happened after system reboot.
