Triaged The fact that it has BR: openssl-devel just means that it will require the library, which it does automatically. If it actually uses the openssl command for something, that would be when it needs that package. If it doesn't absolutely need it, maybe it could be added as a suggests.

It was "long" time ago; from the top of my memory; I reported an dovecot install trouble about openssl missing. You should try to install dovecote on a base system, you should have the same alarm. I am not a dovecot expert, but... seem to me "BuildRequires" make sure openssl library are available, this doesn't imply openssl tools are available when starting dovecot first time. This is resolved by a "Require". Yes, you reported this three months ago. Sorry nobody has responded. What you just said is correct, but it's hard to get an install without openssl; that's *really* minimal, since it's required by so many things. All I was saying is I don't know if openssl is *absolutely* required by dovecot, or if that's just some kind of warning you're seeing. Anyway, I'll CC Funda, who's been updating the dovecot package lately. Maybe he knows. CC:

Anyway, I'll > CC Funda, who's been updating the dovecot package lately. Maybe he knows. As specified in the bug report "on a 'basesystem'". Say you want to install a bare minimal email server, starting from 'basesystem', yum install dovecot... "service dovecot start" report trouble. I guess dovecot need openssl to generate the IMAPS and POP3S self signed certificate. Such you need to specify "Require" in dovecot.

You are correct. What it actually needs is Requires(post): openssl. I'll fix this in Cauldron, as well as in SVN for Mageia 3. I don't see a need to issue an update just for this issue. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you find the same problem with any other packages. Thanks for the report! Status:
