dovecot - Nov 2005 - Dovecot dead after upgrade of MySQL

Hi,

I upgraded my MySQL installation on my FC2 machine from the 3.23 version to the
newest 5.0 version. Now dovecot won't start. It gives me the error :
'dovecot dead but subsys locked'. I am using dovecot-0.99-14.

Here's the output of 'ldd /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth:

Do I need to downgrade back to the 3.23 version of MySQL for dovecot to work?

Thanks,
Saurabh

Did you rebuild dovecot with the new libraries?  If you removed the 
MySQL 3.23 libraries, there would be nothing for dovecot to run against. 
  For that matter, I doubt that anyone has built dovecot with MySQL 5.0 
yet, so I'm not even sure that it is possible.
