Package: uw-imapd Version: 7:2002edebian1-13.1+etch1 Severity: important
The uw-imapd package "Conflicts:" with the virtual package "imap-server." I am attempting to migrate IMAP servers right now, and this is preventing me from having dovecot-imapd and uw-imapd installed concurrently. As far as I can tell, the only reason for this conflict is that both servers want to listen on the same port by default, but they can easily be configured to listen on different ports or interfaces. I propose that "Conflicts: imap-server" be removed from uw-imapd, unless there is a compelling technical reason for the conflict. See Bug #324480 for the corresponding bug in dovecot-imapd (which was fixed 3 years ago), and the following thread on debian-devel, for reasons why this conflict is considered harmful: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/08/msg01308.html Thanks, Andrew -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages uw-imapd depends on: ii deb 1.5.11etch2 Debian configuration management sy ii lib 7:2002edebian1-13.1+etch1 UW c-client library for mail proto ii lib 2.3.6.ds1-13etch8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lib 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-2etch1 common error description library ii lib 1.4.4-7etch6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii lib 0.79-5 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii lib 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii lib 0.9.8c-4etch3 SSL shared libraries ii net 4.29 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii ope 0.9.8c-4etch3 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary a Versions of packages uw-imapd recommends: ii postfix [mail-transport-ag 2.3.8-2+etch1 A high-performance mail transport -- debconf information: * uw-imapd/force_debconf_choice: false * uw-imapd/protocol: imap2, imaps -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
