1) The directories /var/run/cyrus and /var/run/cyrus/socket were both present, owner cyrus, group mail.
2) I did dpkg-reconfigure to allow package removal to take out the directories, and then purged the packages. This led to a complaint "can't remove /var/run/cyrus, directory in use" (roughly). I dismounted the directory and then removed it via rmdir. Then reinstalled the packages. Still got the complaint; is it normal? --------------------------------------- Setting up cyrus-common (2.4.16-4+deb7u2) ...
