Otlay's workaround worked for me. But I had to go through some pushups to get it installed without error. I had a dependency conflict with some :i386 packages.
My procedure was to first turn off the sasl daemon: sudo /etc/init.d/saslauthd stop ...then remove the existing packages: sudo dpkg -r libsasl2-dev sudo dpkg -r libsasl2-modules-sql sudo dpkg -r sasl2-bin sudo dpkg -r --force-all libsasl2-2 libsasl2-2:i386 sudo dpkg -r --force-all libsasl2-modules ...and install the older packages: sudo dpkg -i --force-all libsasl2-modules- sql_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb libsasl2-dev_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb sasl2-bin_2.1.23.dfsg1-5ubuntu3_amd64.deb ...restart: sudo /etc/init.d/saslauthd restart sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart Note: I think any other updates are on hold until this gets resolved. e.g.: sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gnome-tweak-tool : Depends: gnome-shell but it is not going to be installed libldap-2.4-2:i386 : Depends: libsasl2-2:i386 but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875440 Title: Cannot authenticate with saslauthd and mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cyrus-sasl2/+bug/875440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
