[David Hill]

Package: cyrus-imapd-2.4
Version: 2.4.7-3
Severity: critical
Tags: experimental
Justification: breaks the whole system

When upgrading to cyrus 2.2/2.4, it cannot start with the following messages:

It shouldn't try to start it UNTIL the DB is upgraded but I was never aware cyrus would break when I upgraded it.
I noticed my /var was full and when investigating, figured out it was because the upgrade of cyrus-imapd didn't go well... but I was never aware of
this situation until then.
