Package: dovecot-common
Version: 0.99.10.9-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/dovecot

SASL 1.5 is old. I am no expert, but it seems maintainers/upstreams of openldal, postfix, mutt and sendmail agrees that linking against SASL
2.x is preferred.

Your package build-depends on sasl-dev | sasl2-dev. Please switch those
around, in order to favor SASL 2.x linking.


Kind regards,

Especially don't link with sasl2 library, it doesn't work in any case

...or maybe investigate if Timo meant SASL generally (I saw his note,
and it was in response to a specific compile against SASL 2.x).


Whatever you do, please do not close this bugreport until you've done
it, thank you :-)

ok fine, reopen it as severity wishlist. I'm not going to try it out
until after sarge. I can't risk such a change at this time.

Timo, is it safe to link dovecot against sasl2 on Debian?

I guess it's safe. I was thinking about removing all libsasl code from
next version though. I haven't heard it working with anyone and I don't remember if it ever worked with me either.
