So I notice this bug has been reported as fixed, but i tried to do a
apt-get upgrade over crimbo and my dpkg seems to be throwing the same
fault in dovecot-core (1:2.2.13-11), so far I have spent a day trying to
fix this but with no luck, the init script is throwing exit code 1 which
i can see from the init script is something to do with the conf files, i
am a bit of a noob at this so if there is any explanation on how i can
fix this would be appreciated. it may have been caused by a wrong option
being selected at upgrade, i notice two files that seemed to have been
generated at the same time as things going sideways. here's all the
information from dpkg and other information that could be related to the
fault:
dpkg output:

dovecot.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

i tried to do this update on 14 December to which dpkg threw a non
related fault, but running dpkg --configure --pending and then apt-get
install -f seemed to return the system to normal, but i think somehow
this fault was also introduced and i had not noticed it. dpkg dint warn
me to an issue with dovecot not working at that point, but i noticed
over crimbo that dovecot was not accepting any connections so i went to
do another upgrade on new years day and then dpkg starts throwing this
error while trying to configure dovecot. not been able to get past it
this time. any help would be appreciated. i suspect this has something
to do with the old files possibly old ssl keys or an error by me in the
upgrade. any advice ?
