[Bug 875485] Re: package dovecot-common 1:1.2.15-3ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting configuration.

[buchs]

I had moved the script "dovecot" out of /etc/init.d so that it would not
run (but I did not want to uninstall it. It complained about this
attempt to upgrade with the dist-upgrade. Further, I could not uninstall
it. I had to move that script back in place (luckily I had saved it)
before I could do anything to change things. So, now it is resolved for
me, but it seems like the installer should be made a bit more robust.
