I just did an upgrade on a CentOS 4 server, and dovecot won't even install for me. I keep getting this: [ksandhu@webster ~]$ sudo rpm -Uvh dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] error: %pre(dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4
This means that the pre-install script failed on the rpm. you can see what this is by running rpm -q --scripts dovecot
I also can't shutdown anymore. When I do a "reboot" or "shutdown -r now", I get this:
This is unrelated (to the original poster's issue) and is possible thread hi-jacking.
[root@webster ~]# shutdown -h now Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Mon Jun 18 00:58:20 2007): The system is going down for system halt NOW! init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl What the hell is going on?
Look in your logs for details. Do you have selinux enabled? If so, it's possible that some of your files have invalid selinux contexts. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
