Symptoms

The migration procedure of the qmail service is being performed (see POA Services Upgrade/Migration Guide > Migrating Services to Nodes Running Up-to-Date OSs > Service-specific Backup/Restore Instructions > Single-Host QMail, Majordomo, Autoresponder2 Services for details). The qmail host cannot be re-registered and the

There is no suitable package libvmime for host ... 

message appears.

Cause

In previous versions of the qmail service, the VMime library was placed in the libvmime POA package; the qmail service depended on the POA package. In the latest versions of the qmail service, this library is placed in the RPM package; the qmail service depends on the RPM package and the libvmime POA package is dropped.

Resolution

  1. Remove the installed libvmime POA package from the system database.

    Example:

    plesk=> select h.host_id, h.primary_name, p.pkg_id, p.name, c.component_id from packages p join components c on c.pkg_id = p.pkg_id join hosts h on h.host_id = c.host_id where h.host_id = 31 and p.name = 'libvmime';
      host_id | primary_name  | pkg_id |   name   | component_id
     ---------+---------------+--------+----------+--------------
           31 | mail.pem.bcom |    810 | libvmime |          573
    (1 row)
    
     plesk=> select * from components where component_id = 573;
      component_id | host_id |        creation_date         | pkg_id | rootpath | reported_state | state_to_show | uninstalled
     --------------+---------+------------------------------+--------+----------+----------------+---------------+-------------
               573 |      31 | 2007-02-05 09:36:24.39928+06 |    810 | /usr     | i              | i             | n
     (1 row)
    
     plesk=> delete from components where component_id = 573;
     DELETE 1
    
  2. Re-register the qmail host.
