Bug#852668: cyrus-imapd: Upgrade to 2.5 fails

[Mart van de Wege]

Package: cyrus-imapd
Version: 2.5.10-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

I tried to upgrade cyrus from Jessie 2.4 to the current 2.5 in Sid; the upgrade failed whe trying to restart cyrus-imapd.

The error in the logs is unhelpful, it seems it is trying to execute something that is missing, but I have no clue what.

Running cyrmaster manually using the arguments in /lib/systemd/system/cyrus-imapd.service produces this in /var/log/mail.log though:

Jan 26 10:08:20 amek cyrus/master[15756]: can't run startup
Jan 26 10:08:20 amek cyrus/master[15756]: exiting

Commenting out tlsprune in /etc/cyrus.conf makes it possible to manually start cyrmaster, but starting it as a service using systemctl *still* fails with the output below.

This is on a pristine system. No mailboxes, a fresh install.

output of journalctl -u cyrus-imapd.service:
