Hi Ondrej

I'm testing cyrus-imapd-2.4.4-1 on a ubuntu lucid 64bit and seems to work 
fine
Only problem so far is file 

cat /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-hardwired-config.txt
PACKAGE_VERSION 
USE_DIR_FULL 0

init.d script check this file but for some reason PACKAGE_VERSION is null 
and cyrus not start. commenting out

grep -qE '^PACKAGE_VERSION[[:blank:]]+([0-9]+:|)2[.]3' \
       /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-hardwired-config.txt >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 0

cyrus start without problem. note that this is a clean installation not 
an upgrade from old cyrus

btw I imported mail and configuration from an old installation cyrus-
imapd-2.2 2.2.13-19 and db upgrade works flawless (only skiplist in this 
case)
