Hi all!
After quite some time, today I decided to update the mail server from
Debian Jessie (cyrus-imapd 2.4.17) to Debian Stretch (cyrus-imapd 2.5.10-3).
All without problems until I reach the part of cyrus-imapd that does not
start. This is what I see in the log:

I'm not sure what the problem is but that "invalid magic header" makes
me think that maybe it changed the header format of
/var/lib/cyrus/tls_sessions.db and the migration process did not do the
corresponding conversion. Can that be the reason why it doesn't start or
I'm missing something else? Any ideas that can bring more light?
The associated problem is that because of this it seems that Postfix can
not deliver the mails since there is no /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp.
It wants tls_sessions.db to be a twoskip-format file, but the current
format is skiplist. However, it was able to detect this and open it as
skiplist. You can fix this issue by stopping Cyrus, removing
tls_sessions.db, and starting Cyrus.
However, your real problem seems to be the missing nntp executable:
Jan 14 23:10:46 mail cyrus/master[5311]: cannot find executable for service 'nntp'
Do you use NNTP? You could comment it out of cyrus.conf in order to get
the rest of Cyrus up and running.
Take a look at the release notes for v2.5.0:
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/download/release-notes/2.5/x/2.5.0.html
It covers important changes from v2.4 to v2.5. You may need to update
your cyrus.conf and imapd.conf files.
Thanks,
Andy
