After updating only the dovecot package and restarting the daemon I saw these messages in the journal.

Nov 24 19:43:33 marte dovecot[21633]: config: Error: Couldn't load plugin /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/settings/libmanagesieve_login_settings.so: Module is for different ABI version 2.2.ABIv34(2.2.34) (we have 2.2.ABIv36(2.2.36))
Nov 24 19:43:33 marte dovecot[21633]: config: Error: Couldn't load plugin /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/settings/libmanagesieve_settings.so: Module is for different ABI version 2.2.ABIv34(2.2.34) (we have 2.2.ABIv36(2.2.36))

This is due to a version incompatibility with the older modules. After also updating the package dovecot-pigeonhole this issue was resolved. I think the package dependencies should be set so that the main package and modules packages don't end up with incompatible versions dues to partial updates.

Other than the dependencies issue, after all dovecot packages are updated, it works ok.

Tested with kmail and roudncubemail clients.

System: Mageia 6, x86_64, Intel CPU.

Thanks for the report.

I think conflicting the old pigeonhole package may help and I will push a new update soon.

Cheers,
Stig

@Stig-Ørjan:

Obsoletes is not a fix.

you need yo use Conflicts, but its the main dovecot package that needs the versioned conflict on dovecot-pigeonhole

CC: (none) => tmb

So basically something like:

Conflicts:	%{name}-pigeonhole < %{version}-%{release}



That way you unly need to set the conflict once (and dont need to change it later)

Installed and tested without issues.
