Description Sean Mitchell 2002-02-07 10:56:59 UTC
I'm running a server with courier-imap installed for the imap server. After 
installing pine, courier stopped working properly (would not authenticate).

I looked into the two packages and discovered that they both 
provide /usr/sbin/imapd. The pine version clobbered the courier one and bad 
things happened.

The root cause of all me installing pine was to get the necessary headers and 
libraries so that I could build php with IMAP support. Maybe an imap-devel 
ebuild is in order?

Cheers,

Sean

I think kabau added pine, but I'm assigning it to Grant to resolve the problem.

The two packages shouldn't collide any longer, as courier-imap now installs
courier-imapd and courier-pop3d in /usr/sbin.  Thanks for the report!
