[SOLVED] dovecot 2.1.1-3 broken

First of all, some of my configs were .pacsaved, so I had to restore them. But when I did I got this error:

doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf line 121: No matches

Line 121 on 10-auth.conf is:

!include auth-system.conf.ext

For now I have re-installed 2.1.1-2 and everything seems to be OK.

The error says auth-system.conf.ext doesn't exist. Does it?

You need to copy the requiered file form  /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/conf.d/* to /etc/dovecot/conf.d and modify it if needed.

That's annoying. Why move important files to another location, breaking any existing setup? It seems like unnecessary rearrangement for the hell of it.

Not sure what are you referring to, have you read the commit message: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … 5ce6d9e285

don't install sample config files to /etc direclty, they break dovecot start way too often

I see, so there were some breakage problems before (it never happened for me though).

It would have been nice for a bit of forewarning, usually I can do an update and restart without any problem.

So the fix was to cp /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext /etc/dovecot/conf.d/
