Comment 13 for bug 875440

potatochip: you first installed the 2.1.23 (which is the version that
WORKS) and then you overwrote some of the files and links by compiling
and installing 2.1.25 (the output of your saslauthd shows 2.1.25 is
what's installed).

Go back into your 2.1.25 source, make uninstall, then run dpkg -i
--force-all *.deb again with the download files. Then restart saslauthd
and postfix and you should be up.
