Hello Kai,
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.
While checking the attached logs, I noticed that the dpkg logs contain
Mai 31 08:12:31 kai-desktop dovecot[220659]: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/ conf.d/ 10-ssl. conf line 13: ssl_key: Can't open file /etc/dovecot/ private/ dovecot. key: No such file or directory
That file is a symlink to /etc/ssl/ private/ ssl-cert- snakeoil. key, which is generated by the ssl-cert package
Have you modified/removed /etc/ssl/ private/ ssl-cert- snakeoil. key or the ssl-cert package from your system?
Since there is not enough information in your report to begin triage or to
differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I
am marking this bug as "Incomplete". We would be grateful if you would:
provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you
believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your
system, and then change the bug status back to "New".
For local configuration issues, you can find assistance here: www.ubuntu. com/support/ community
