problems cyrus after update

[johan]

Hi,

The strange thing is that nothing happens when I do 

su cyrus
sh-2.05b$ cd /
sh-2.05b$ /usr/sbin/cvt_cyrusdb /var/lib/cyrus/mailboxes.db db3 \
> /var/lib/cyrus/temp.db flat
Converting from /var/lib/cyrus/mailboxes.db (db3) to
/var/lib/cyrus/temp.db (flat)


This stays the same for hours. I know, it sounds pretty stupid. I try to
look in logs (syslog, imapd.log, messages, auth.log) : nothing to  see.

This  is perhaps interesting to solve the problem :


diff -u /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.active
/usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.txt

It is right there in the docs.  Read them again. By fullpath to database
I mean the name of the database file, with all the path since /.

e.g. mailboxes database:
/var/lib/cyrus/mailboxes.db

The two-step conversion is paranoia against the filenames being encoded
inside the database or logfiles (db3 does this, for example).
