I take back what I said about things working. I was fooled into
thinking things were working when I had deinstalled 0.9.8 and things
started working again. I reinstalled 0.9.8 and things broke again,
with no other changes. Now I'm reinstalling 0.9.7g and hoping for
the best.
I guess I have to install 0.9.8 and clean install everything that
depends on it, at a time when I can have everything broken for
several hours. Just rebuilding cyrus-imap, cyrus-sasl, and exim
didn't do it.
