Package: cyrus-imapd
Version: 2.5.10-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I ran into a couple of bumps on the way to the upgrade. In brief, the http
service doesn't seem to work,
and the names in some currently commented out jobs are no longer valid.
* What led up to the situation?
I belatedly upgraded a system running cyrus from Jessie to Stretch.
I manually adjusted a lot of configuration files.
When I tried to restart cyrus-imapd, it failed, apparently because of a
problem with http:

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Reviewed my old conf and the new one; I think both had the http service
uncommented.
Internet search and check of bugs.debian.org didn't turn up much, which
seems a little odd.
The search did suggest that the error, even if fatal for http, shouldn't be
fatal for
the other services.
Checked that all recommended packages were installed.
Commented out the http, since I'm not even sure what it provides (is it
related to caldav?
I'm not using caldav.)
This ended the complaints about http, but showed a new problem, which may
have been
the real reason for the original failure of imapd.

That was the squatter_a job in cyrus.conf. I had this uncommented from before.
So I deleted the _ from it and from squatter_1 just above it.
Both are commented out in the files distributed with the package, and so
wouldn't cause a complaint.
But if anyone uncomments them, I believe it will fail.
* What was the outcome of this action?
cyrus is now running. I don't know if the fact that http is not there
matters.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That it ran the first time :)
