Description Andreas Steinmetz 2017-07-27 20:26:04 UTC

1. /etc/init.d/cyrus still points to /usr/lib/cyrus/master whereas
   v3 cyrus installs a /usr/libexec/master

2. at least for me "reconstruct" aborts with a "double free or corruption",
   thus database upgrade is impossible, this seems to result in no other
   folders than "inbox" being available (and ,yes, unixhierarchysep and
   altnamespace are set to 0 in imapd.conf)

The above points will break any existing cyrus installation. Downgrading again
to v2 at least lets one access again inbox *and* all subfolders.

I had the same problem with 2.5 setup that I was trying to upgrade to 3.0.

It quickly become apparent that it is an old problem that I had reported already
in bug #604466 few months ago.
After applying Debian's patch to libpcre and rebuilding net-mail/cyrus-imapd
the database upgraded successfully and I was able to access my old mail through
net-mail/cyrus-imapd-3.0.3.

I have succesfully upgraded to cyrus-imapd-3.0.5 after encountering multiple issues trying to upgrade to 3.0.4.

Can people experiencing issues with cyrus-imapd-3.0.0 - 3.0.4 please retest using 3.0.5 ?

Comment 5 Maciej S. Szmigiero 2018-03-12 12:11:10 UTC

As I wrote in 604466: can confirm that 3.0.5 no longer crashes without a patch to libpcre.
