dovecot - May 2006 - problems with 1.0beta[78] on RHEL3

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I've been running 0.99.13 on RHEL 3 for over a year now and finally
decided to upgrade to the 1.0 series.

unfortunately, I only have one RHEL 3 machine which is my production
machine. So, while doing all my preliminary testing I was doing so on a
FC 3 machine.  I got everything to a stage where I felt comfortable
doing the upgrade but I'm running into some problems on the RHEL 3 system.

if I download the tarball, it compiles without problem.  If I download
the cvs or the src.rpm then I get autoconf errors complaining about not
supporting AC_CONFIG_HEADER but requiring AM_CONFIG_HEADER.

it also complains that the installed version of autoconf is too old,
although it's the latest package for RHEL 3 (which means it has the same
version number as the original installed package but all the updates are
back-ported to it, right?)

anyways, that's all trivial as the source compiles.  the problem I'm
running into is this:

the quota plugin is returning the following errors in the mail log:

May 13 02:02:13 mail dovecot: POP3(real_user):
dlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib01_quota_plugin.so) failed:
/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3/lib01_quota_plugin.so: undefined symbol: mount
point_get

and also:

May 13 02:03:03 mail dovecot: IMAP(real_user): quotactl(Q_GETQUOTA,
/dev/sdb1) failed: Invalid argument

can anyone offer any assistance with this?

oh yeah, one last thing.  following the wiki, during the upgrade i
renamed the .subscription files to subscription in each user's Maildir
directory (oh yeah, i'm using maildir format) but, the subscription
information wasn't persistant.  anything else i need to be aware of
related to that?

thanks

Probably because you're trying to use automake 1.4, which is too old.

2.57 is probably new enough for Dovecot, if you have that.

I forgot to add this workaround for POP3, since I originally forgot that
quota plugin is actually useful with POP3 too. Fixed in:
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-May/005569.html

But that requires you to run automake again..

And you really have quota enabled in that filesystem? I don't have quota
enabled anywhere, so I haven't been able to test that it's really
working, but the code looks that it matches the quotactl()'s man page..

What do you mean wasn't persistant? That users had to subscribe again?
That renaming should have worked..
