db.spec.patch not successful :-(

[Edward Rudd]

Skiplist is Cyrus' own DB format that is better for certain types of
data access.. (mailbox lists is one of them)..
Is the /imap/conf/db directory created? Does it have the correct
permissions? (owned by cyrus, group mail)?
And you may need to run the cvt_cyrusdb or cvt_cyrusdb_all programs to
convert the databases if you had used different formats for the various
databases? (ie.. DB4 for the mailboxes instead of skiplist). You need to
run these programs as the user cyrus (su - cyrus -c).
This is what Simon Matter's start up script does in his RPM package..

 echo -n $"preparing databases... "
su - cyrus -c "umask 166 ; /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb_all >
/var/lib/imap/rpm/cvt_cyrusdb_all.log 2>&1"
