Bug Description

Upgrading a perfectly working Dovecot (using LDAP) server from Hardy to Intrepid gives the message :

Aug 13 17:18:26 shaun dovecot: auth(default): Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf line 10: Unknown setting: user_global_uid
Aug 13 17:18:26 shaun dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting dow

And Dovecot doesn't start.

Maybe the configuration has changed but then, I should be warned during upgrade.

Couldn't this be automatically handled in the postinst script ?

According to the upgrade instructions:

 * SQL and LDAP: user_global_uid and user_global_gid fields have
   been removed from their config files. Instead you can now use mail_uid
   and mail_gid settings in dovecot.conf.
