Another unsure user here... I've been wary upgrading my cyrus boxes to 
wheezy because I remember the pain with previous Cyrus major version 
upgrades.

I did it on one of the smaller ones (so the possible restore from 
backups wouldn't take long :) and I'm experiencing the same errors as 
Mr. Diaz.

Although they don't seem to affect the server operation they don't 
exactly inspire confidence so I've decided not to upgrade any other 
machines until I'm sure it can't become a problem.

These seem harmless... I don't have user_deny.db and would consider 
just blocking them at the syslog level, based on past experience 
they're probably hardcoded somewhere in the source and can't be turned 
off. I welcome better suggestions.

Best regards and thanks for the good work you're doing on the Cyrus 
packages.
