$ apt-cache show cyrus-common | grep Version
Version: 1.5.19-16
[see also, update note at bottom]
i'm running sarge on the server in question...

when i include
# from asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/install-auth.html
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
to /etc/imapd.conf then the imap server dies a horrid death every
time it's invoked. somewhere the debian packages report that
they're modified to run WITHOUT sasl support, but i can't find
that just now...
$ cd /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common
$ find . -type f | xargs zgrep -i sasl
shows nothing.
$ man imapd.conf
has no occurrence of "sasl" anywhere in the text.
[update]
so i did
apt-get install cyrus21-{admin,ipamd,popd,doc}
and then had to
/etc/init.d/cyrus21 start
but of course there's LOTS of mud to wade through before it'll
work. eesh!
i'm off to trudge (and nudges/pointers are still welcome)...
so much for the weekend!

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #70 from Jeff <dr0ker@yahoo.com>
:
The Debian-specific command:
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
allows you to quickly CHANGE YOUR DEFAULT WINDOW MANAGER. You
might fiddle with "x-session-manager" settings instead, if it's
appropriate for your Debian setup.
Try "man update-alternatives" to see a list of some of the
other default settings you may alter with the command.
