Bug Description
Attempting to start dovecot with the default configuration on oneiric fails:
$ sudo start dovecot
dovecot stop/waiting
$ ps auwwx | grep dovecot
ubuntu 8793 0.0 0.1 4188 876 pts/0 S+ 13:17 0:00 grep --color=auto dovecot
This is because the self-signed ssl certificate failed to generate:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot -F -c /etc/dovecot/
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/
Attempting to regenerate it fails:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dovecot-common
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service dovecot stop
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop dovecot
Creating generic self-signed certificate: =</etc/
This certificate will expire in a year.
(replace with hand-crafted or authorized one if needed).
Warning : Bad SSL config, can't generate certificate.
