cvt_cyrusdb_all

[Norman Zhang]

Hi,

After installing cyrus-imapd, I was prompted to convert the
/var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db. But I get the following error not being able
convert db3 to flat. Would someone please tell me how can I fix this?

Regards,
Norman

This is the first time that this package is being installed
but there's an existing /var/lib/imap/mailboxes.db file so
it's not possible to know if the current configuration of the
various cyrus databases corresponds to the compiled in options.
Please BACK UP your configuration and spool directory and run
the /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all utility.
Remember to assign a password to user cyrus in order
