Debian: Dovecot 2.3.0.1 won't start if dovecot-pop3d is missing
Hello, given a Debian 9 system with Dovecot 2.2.34 installed from self-built packages made from the official tarball combined with Stephan Bosch's debian files (upgraded multiple times from packages made in a similar way). Today, I updated this system to 2.3.0.1 from the official repository at repo.dovecot.org. After the update, dovecot wouldn't start because of:> dovecot: master: Fatal: service(pop3) access(/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3)failed: No such file or directory Obviously, installing the dovecot-pop3d package, which provides the pop3 binary, made the error go away. Nevertheless, until v. 2.2.34 not installing the pop3 binary had never been a problem. Trying to solve this, I even commented the following sections in the config (which previously hadn't caused problems since the lines defining the ports etc. had already been commented):> 10-master.conf:> service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3 { > #port = 110 > } > inet_listener pop3s { > #port = 995 > #ssl = yes > } > }> service pop3 { > # Max. number of POP3 processes (connections) > #process_limit = 1024 > }> 10-director.conf:> service pop3-login { > #executable = pop3-login director > }After those changes I had the configuration shown below, which produced the described error. Why would Dovecot insist that the pop3 binary has to exist on the system?

Aki Tuomi, Fri, 02 Mar 2018 20:06:35 +0200:> the problem is default > ?protocols = imap pop3?Ah, OK. I wasn't aware that the default had changed. It seems to be protocols = imap pop3 lmtp now.> packaging should use > protocols > protocols = $protocols imapYep, explicitly setting protocols before !include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol helps. IMO Something like that should be changed in the official packages too. -- Regards mks
