Description of problem:

When adding a new user to the SASL database ("saslpasswd2 -c username"), I get a bunch of log messages in syslog (/var/log/messages), like this:

Nov  2 14:18:55 senfl saslpasswd2: error deleting entry from sasldb: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found
Nov  2 14:18:55 senfl saslpasswd2: error deleting entry from sasldb: DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found

As far as I can tell these log messages appear to be irrelevant and should be ignored.  The operation succeeded, but saslpasswd2 is still logging error messages.  This doesn't prevent one from using SASL but it is confusing.

A websearch suggests that perhaps this is something having to do with SASL->SASL2 migration: that saslpasswd2 is trying to delete the entry from an old SASL database while adding it to the SASL2 database.  That seems like a misdesign, though.  I started from a fresh Fedora 9 install with no prior SASL database, and the very first time I ran saslpasswd2, I got these errors.

These log messages caused me to go astray while trying to debug a problem that turned out to be unrelated.  Not a showstopper but presumably worth fixing.
