Description Jason Tibbitts 2019-11-25 18:34:16 UTC 
It looks like a dovecot update in rawhide has broken imaptest.

[root@test-rawhide ~]# imaptest
imaptest: symbol lookup error: imaptest: undefined symbol: base64_encode

As far as I can tell, it just needs a rebuild (or rather, a rebuilt version does appear to at least run on rawhide).

On IRC we had discussed now dovecot maintains no ABI stability, and mentioned having the most basic of %check sections:

%check
%buildroot/%_bindir/imaptest --help

just to make sure the result still runs.  Unfortunately this would not have made any difference here because a rebuild fixes the problem.  Koschei wouldn't notice.  The only option I see is hardcoding a dependency on the specific dovecot version, but that would probably lead to breakage even when a rebuild isn't necessary.

Thank you for the report. It's sad to see that Dovecot doesn't maintain any ABI stability even during patch-level releases.
