Package: cyrus21-common
Version: 2.1.18-5.1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

After upgrading to cyrus 2.2, the old cyrus21-* packages are
automatically uninstalled. So far so good.

If you however purge the package cyrus21-common, the /var/run/cyrus
directory is deleted without confirmation. Thus the cyrus 2.2 mail
deliver system breaks:
[...] cyrus/deliver[16928]: connect(/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp) failed:
No such file or directory
[...] postfix/pipe[16927]: [...] status=deferred (temporary failure.
Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: No such file or directory_
421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_ )

If you restart cyrus2.2, it recreates the /var/run/cyrus directory and
it works again. But it is not necessarily noticed if you purge old
packages...

(There was however a question whether I wanted to delete all user data
and I said no. The /var/spool/cyrus directory was left and that part of
it was fine.)
