I just did an upgrade on a CentOS 4 server, and dovecot won't even
install for me.  I keep getting this:

[ksandhu at webster ~]$ sudo rpm -Uvh dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4.i386.rpm 
Preparing...                ###########################################
[100%]
error: %pre(dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping
dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4

I also can't shutdown anymore.  When I do a "reboot" or "shutdown -r
now", I get this:

[root at webster ~]# shutdown -h now

Broadcast message from root (pts/0) (Mon Jun 18 00:58:20 2007):

The system is going down for system halt NOW!
init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl


What the hell is going on?

Regards,

Ranbir
