Bug#803965: "/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/upgrade-db: Cannot upgrade ZONEINFO from skiplist to empty" on upgrade

[David Caldwell]

Package: cyrus-common
Version: 2.4.17+nocaldav-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to install 2.4.17+nocaldav-2 gives me:

  Setting up cyrus-common (2.4.17+nocaldav-2) ...
  Creating/updating cyrus user account...
  The user `cyrus' is already a member of `sasl'.
  /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/upgrade-db: Cannot upgrade ZONEINFO from skiplist to empty
  dpkg: error processing package cyrus-common (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Poking around I see:

  $ diff -u /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.txt /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.active

I looked through all the packages and didn't see anything about "zones":

  $ for pkg in admin clients dev doc imapd; do dpkg -L cyrus-$pkg | grep -i zone; done
  $

So I deleted the ZONEINFO line in `/usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.active`
(BTW shouldn't that be in `/var/lib` or something?), and then the package
upgraded correctly.

I think the script should handle that case instead of bombing out.
