Hi folks:
I've recently migrated one of my production servers (bad Jason!) from
WBEL to CentOS 3.3 using Donavan's instructions in the FAQ
(http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=19). While it
was as painless as the document suggests, I've run into problems with
postgrey (a postfix greylisting daemon) on my server. Whenever I try
to start postgrey, I get the following error (trimmed from maillog):
ERROR: can't create DB environment: No such file or directory
A little research led me to find the error was caused by a call to
BerkeleyDB::Env->new() in postgrey. I can recreate it in a simple Perl
one-liner:
perl -e 'use BerkeleyDB; my $db = BerkeleyDB::Env->new() or die "blah";'
This leads me to believe that something is wrong with db4, so I
upgraded (--force) to the CentOS db4 package. Unfortunately, this had
no effect. Speaking with Dag in IRC a couple nights back, he believes
my only recourse may be to "pin" my apt sources and attempt to upgrade
all of my WBEL-based packages to their CentOS counterparts. I would
really like to avoid this; if necessary, I think I'd prefer to try and
upgrade from the 3.3 ISO.
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this?
Thanks,
