Hello colin and thanks for filing this bug report. The error message shows a syntax error in a dovecot configuration file:
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/
This doesn't seem related to the upgrade. If you modified the file while dovecot was running and didn't restart it, then the daemon could have been running fine until the restart triggered by the upgrade.
Could you please check /etc/dovecot/
Waiting for your reply I'm setting the status of this report to Incomplete. Please change it back to New after commenting back and we'll look at it again. Thanks!
