I'm just moving all emails from an old imap-2.0.16 to a new machine with version 2.2
I copied all files from the old machine to the new machine and followed the
instructions at:
http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/install-upgrade.html
after performing the rehash-command I try to upgrade the mailboxes.db and
seen-files with the cvt_cyrusdb-command as recommended, but I run into a strange
error:
as user cyrus I do:
$ /usr/sbin/cvt_cyrusdb /data/cyrus/config/mailboxes.db berkeley
/tmp/mailboxes.db.new skiplist
Converting from /data/cyrus/config/mailboxes.db (berkeley) to
/tmp/mailboxes.db.new (skiplist)
fatal error: can't open old database
in the logs I see:
Jan 9 12:28:28 ihf2 cyrus/cvt_cyrusdb[19760]: DBERROR db4: Program version 4.4
doesn't match environment version 0.5

Jan 9 12:28:28 ihf2 cyrus/cvt_cyrusdb[19760]: DBERROR: opening
/data/cyrus/config/mailboxes.db: Invalid argument
To be frank : I seem doomed. I didnt find anything useful to my problem in the
docs or on google. I dont even know if my original mailboxes.db-file is really
in Berkeley-format. I tried to use '/usr/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d
>/tmp/mailbox.db' on the old machine with gave me - as expected - the same
mailboxfile. Its a binary-file with the mailbox-lists as ASCII somewhere in it
with binary noise around.
Converting the seen-files from flat to skiplist seems to work. I also tried to
convert the mailboxes.db from flat to skiplist but then cvt_cyrusdb said that
its appearently an empty file.
Any suggestions? Or is there maybe a workaround? By reconstructing the
mailboxes-files manually from the userdatabase (ldap-based). All users have the
same permissions.
thnx a lot
