Bug Description

On Ubuntu 12.04, the file /etc/dovecot/README sends the user to a directory /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/. However, after installing dovecot-imapd package, this directory doesn't exist. Instead, the correct path is /usr/share/doc/dovecot-core/dovecot/example-config/. The wrong README in /etc/dovecot should be corrected.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This bug is present in Debian too. So it would be best fixed in Debian, and then Ubuntu will pick it up on the next merge.

Would you mind filing a bug with Debian please?
