system langange is english.

You're right. The head of the file:

# This script converts all db files of a cyrus installation from their
# existing format to the format required by the current installation.
# The format of current db files is determined using the 'file' command
# with a magic file added for skiplist db, the new format is read from
# a config file usually in /usr/share/cyrus-imapd/rpm/db.cfg, which is
# created while compiling. After converting, the db.cfg file is
# copied to a cache file usually at /var/lib/imap/rpm/db.cfg.cache to
# allow bypassing this converting script if both files are identical.
# While this is a bit less secure, it may be useful on big server where
# db converting is done automatically.
#
# This script can safely be run as root, it will reexec itself as user
# cyrus if needed.

This is my log for shutting down cyrus:

cvt_cyrusdb_all version: 1.2.1
db_checkpoint: checkpoint begin: Tue Jan  2 21:15:31 2007

db_checkpoint: checkpoint complete: Tue Jan  2 21:15:31 2007

And for starting up cyrus:
cvt_cyrusdb_all version: 1.2.1
db_checkpoint: open: No such file or directory
Converting from /var/lib/imap/deliver.db.skiplist (skiplist)
to /var/lib/imap/deliver.db (berkeley)
Converting from /var/lib/imap/tls_sessions.db.skiplist (skiplist)

I could not imagine, why FC6 runs the script on every start up/shut down
cycle. Strange.
