Hi Otlayi,

How do you to remove the libsasl 2.1-24 packages?

Hi Otlayi,

You don't need to, if dpkg -i is giving you errors, dpkg -i --force-all

Worst case scenario you can apt-get install --reinstall those same 5 packages from aptitude and you should be back to where you are now.

You have a beer paid if you visit Spain someday.

Don't forget to post the solution in the bugs page.

It can help a lot of people.

Awesome, I'm glad that this sleepless weekend went to good use - I was going crazy staring at my monitors compile

I'll go ahead and do that. Hopefully one of the maintainers of cyrus-sasl's Ubuntu will be able to get it sorted, or one of the libraries will post an update and all will be well in the world saslauthd

I was able to get my system back online by grabbing the following packages from natty (compressed to 1 wget command: libsasl2-2, libsasl2-dev, libsasl2-modules, libsasl2-modules-sql and sasl2-bin)
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...ntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...ntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...ntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...ntu3_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo...ntu3_amd64.deb
EDIT: If you've got a 32bit system, replace _amd64 in all 5 of the urls with _i386

I'd recommend making a folder, putting the above files into it, and dpkg -i *.deb

I have aptitude running without conflicts now (it would like to upgrade sasl if I let it) and Postfix/SASL is sending and receiving without problems.

otlayi,

Thank you for this

Saved me a bunch of trouble

after installing the natty packages my saslauthd complains about:

/usr/sbin/saslauthd: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ps: this is my first try at setting up a mailserver and it took me 4 hours to find out it was a bug in 11.10 and not my config


oops.. must have done something wrong.. tried it again and now its working
