If the dp update is just a bug fix update, with same BDB version,
everything should work without modifying cyrus-imapd at all. So what
exactly went wrong?
I know that there is a problem in the rpm which affects poeople who change
database configuration in /etc/imapd.conf and the rpm should convert
databases on the fly but doesn't always do it correctly. The next release
will fix to bugs. However, I don't think that's what you did, right?

Are you sure your databases are working correct? Maybe you want to look at
the logs first. Healing a broken BDB environment has been discussed on
this list recently and I'm no expert in BDB.

I have no idea. BTW, if you're also using skiplist, make sure none of the
files is corrupt.
