Bug#402103: sasl2-bin: Can anyone explain why did bug number 398534 got closed??

[andrew]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I seem to miss the solution. It's December 7, i get a sasl2-bin update a
postfix update and the mailserver is done. First i get:
Dec  7 20:18:15 mta1 postfix/smtpd[25575]: warning: SASL authentication
problem: unable to open Berkeley db /etc/sasldb2: No such file or
directory.

Than I copy /etc/sasldb2 to /var/spool/postfix/etc/  and chmod to 644.

Than i get:
Dec  7 20:40:22 mta1 postfix/smtpd[28707]: warning: SASL authentication
failure: Password verification failed
Dec  7 20:40:22 mta1 postfix/smtpd[28707]: warning:
206-248-156-247.dsl.teksavvy.com[206.248.156.247]: SASL PLAIN
authentication failed: authentication failure.

To resolve the problem I had to revert back to 2.1.19.dfsg1-0.5.

How is it postfix that is broken, Woudn't it be broken if I revert back?
