dovecot - Sep 2014 - how to solve : Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v2.1.7, lmtp is v2.2.13

Hello again dovecot list ;)

I've recently upgraded my dovecot version from 2.1.7 to 2.2.13.
both versions where installed from source.

I upgraded why attempting to get lmtp working. I ultimately just coped 
the executable lmtp to the location that dovecot was expecting it to be 
in. but then the above error appeared.

However when I get the info from dovecot I get the following...

$ dovecot -n
# 2.2.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

so there seems to be an issue somewhere.

I should note that I had copied my previous /conf.d/ files and then 
copied them back after the update.

I guess that I have missed a switch during the build, or need to modify 
a line in the config somewhere that tells what the version is, but that 
doesn't explain why the dovecot -n returns the correct info, but the 
error reports something different.

I am considering inserting the
  version_ignore=yes
config option, but where should I insert it ?

Thanks in advance.

David

why do you copy files around?

if you update a software then make it complete and not
copy random files around - installing from source would
in general be better done by build packages because
they care about obsoleted files and so on

no, you should make sure that you have only one version installed
on your system and no old craft staying around
