dovecot - Oct 2012 - dovecot-core, dovecot-mysql for Debian squeeze

Hello list

apologize in advance for my bad English, this is the first time
I write to a list if I mistake Excuse me

I want to implement mail server with MySQL database, Postfix and Postfixadmin,
dovecot-core, dovecot-mysql dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d for multiple domains.

I have problems installing the daemon dovecot-core, dovecot-mysql
dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
Debian squeeze, I'm using the repositories:


deb http://ftp.ccc.uba.ar/pub/linux/debian/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.ccc.uba.ar/pub/linux/debian/debian/ squeeze main

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.ccc.uba.ar/pub/linux/debian/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.ccc.uba.ar/pub/linux/debian/debian/ squeeze-updates main


deb http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze all
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main

to install dovecot-core, dovecot-mysql, install it without problems is
the version (2.1.7-2 ~ bpo60 +1) of both packages,
now wanting to install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d (version 1.2.15-7)
breaks the dovecot-core, dovecot-mysql,
apparently must be the same version all packages.

Debian Wheezy, installs without problems but installs the version
(dovecot-core_2.1.7-2 ~ ppa12.04 +1 _i386.deb)
all packets are the same version.

What is the correct version for Debian squeeze?


Look for San Google but eh had success.

Can anybody help?

I think something is wrong with your debian setup. 1.2 is normal 
version. 2.1 is the backports version. You should be getting this:

Package: dovecot-imapd
Priority: optional
Section: mail
Installed-Size: 559
Maintainer: Dovecot Maintainers <jaldhar-dovecot at debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Source: dovecot
Version: 1:2.1.7-2~bpo60+1
Provides: imap-server
Depends: dovecot-core (= 1:2.1.7-2~bpo60+1), libc6 (>= 2.4), ucf (>=
2.0020)

That's from the Packages list 
http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/dists/squeeze-backports/main/binary-i386/

Yea, of course you must use the same version for all packages.
Upstream there is only one package for dovecot. It's part of Debian's
philosophy to split monolithic packages into a bunch separate packages.

This no Debian version schema but from Ubuntu 12.04. I don't know if
they work correct on Debian.

Stock Squeeze ships Dovecot in Debian version 1.2.15-7. Squeeze
Backports offers version 2.1.7-2~bpo60+1.

To install Dovecot 2.1 for Debian Squeeze:

	% sudo apt-get update
	% apt-get -s -t squeeze-backports install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
dovecot-mysql

The '-s' switch simulates the installation and works without root
privileges. If you get no error and apt shows to install version
2.1.7-2~bpo60+1 repeat the command with a preceding 'sudo ' and no
'-s'.
