Bug#629603: cyrus-common-2.4: Fails to upgrade to 2.4.9~beta1-1

[Steven Kurylo]

Package: cyrus-common-2.4
Version: 2.4.9~beta1-1
Severity: important


I started with a clean install of 2.4.8.  
cyrus-common-2.4 fails on upgrade with the error "unknown new backend"

Starting debugging the issue and /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/upgrade-db fails at:

++ gawk '/^MBOX[[:blank:]]/ { print $2 }' /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.txt

fatal error: unknown new backend

It looks like cyrus-db-types.txt isn't being generated properly, so upgrade-db ends up with "NULL"
