Description Timothy Sink 2011-08-10 18:50:59 UTC

Description of problem:
This seems to be a libdb 5.1 from libdb 4.x problem. the cyrus-imapd cannot connect to sasldb2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-18.fc15
cyrus-imapd-2.4.10-1.fc15 (or stable version prior)

How reproducible:
upgrade from fedora 14 - 15 caused problem with sendmail fixed in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712943
cyrus-imapd worked before applying fix.
that was a problem with sendmail compiled with sasldb.5.1 support and cyrus-sasl compiled with sasldb 4.8 support.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fully working cyrus-imapd/sendmail system on fedora 14.
2. pre-upgrade to fedora 15
3. yum cyrus-sasl with the testing release cyrus-sasl-2.1.23-18.fc15
4. restart sendmail, cyrus-imapd, saslauthd

imaplocal[9589]: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: Invalid argument

same result from client using imapd.conf which is configured the same for the most part.

Expected results:

should read the sasldb2 and login OK

Additional info:
fedora 15 on an x86.

I also tried yum the current testing release cyrus-imapd-2.4.10-1.fc15 but still the same thing.

testsaslauthd -u myuser -p mypassword
OK "Success."

Error Summary
-------------

sh-4.2#
sh-4.2# rpm --test -e db4-utils
error: Failed dependencies:
        db4-utils is needed by (installed) rpm-4.9.1.1-1.fc15.x86_64
        db4-utils is needed by (installed) cyrus-imapd-2.4.10-1.fc15.x86_64
sh-4.2#


so how does one resolve the mutually exclusive dependencies?

Or does one ignore the warning, and remove it with:

rpm --nodeps -e db4-utils

and hope that rpm itself won't be damaged?

Asked and answered: crossed my fingers tried.

Seems to have worked.

The dependencies in cyrus-imapd and rpm may need to change, or else the "provides" list of libdb-utils might be incorrect.

yes, it's broken right now and unfortunately, there is only way forward, so it'll take some time. 

I'll fix it to be non-conflicting with db4-utils

Comment 9 Artur 2011-08-29 10:05:05 UTC

Yes, cyrus-imapd-2.4.10-3.fc15 resolves the problem. Note, that similar issues are observed with other software, I had to recompile postfix as well to link it with libdb-5.1 instead of db4-4.8.

Please open bug against postfix, if there's not such bug yet. It's possible postfix maintainer does not know about this.
