And it looks like I'm running into a major bug in the slightly dated 
version of dovecot debian uses:

And this:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970692

Though my error is slightly different. Instead of uid '0' I have no uid 
at all.

Recently I did a fairly major upgrade.? I had an older Ubuntu release 
with Dovecot 1.x and an older Postfix version, wanted to upgrade it to 
v20, which had significantly newer versions of both programs.

Before I did the Ubuntu upgrade, I took advice received here and 
installed the dovecot repo, upgrading it first.? I looked at the 
following link and only found a couple of things in my config I needed 
to change.? I didn't even use the conversion command at the top of the 
page.? Everything still worked after I upgraded, which I found a little 
surprising.? Postfix also worked after the upgrade, with no config 
changes required.

I did the fts_solr integration *after* I upgraded dovecot.

You can find the dovecot repos here, there are options for Debian:
