1. Get a backup of the full dataset before you started messing with it.
2. Check the version of berkeley DB that was being used in the SuSE BOX
3. Copy data as-is to the Ubuntu box.
4. cd to the cyrus directory that has the db/ subdirectory and the .db
files in it. THAT is the database environment.
5. install the db*-util package that matches the version of berkeley DB
used by the Ubuntu cyrus packages.
6. run db*_upgrade on every .db file.
Your best bet is to drink some liquid luck potion before attempting that,
though.
Alternatively:
On the SUSE box, use ctl_cyrusdb to switch all databases to skiplist or
text.
Move THAT to the Ubuntu box, and configure it accordingly to expect the
databases in the format you'll be using.
