[gentoo-user] net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.3.14-r3: cannot create saslpasswd

Hi Gentoo-users,

I have a problem. After installing net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.3.14-r3
portage tells me

You have to add user cyrus to the sasldb2. Do this with:
    saslpasswd2 cyrus

But when I try to do this, I get the following error:

Password: [password]
Again (for verification): [same password]
saslpasswd2: generic failure

and the syslog says

Feb 20 14:04:10 polaris saslpasswd2: auxpropfunc error invalid parameter
supplied
Feb 20 14:04:10 polaris saslpasswd2: _sasl_plugin_load failed on
sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: ldapdb
Feb 20 14:04:10 polaris saslpasswd2: sql_select option missing
Feb 20 14:04:10 polaris saslpasswd2: auxpropfunc error no mechanism
available
Feb 20 14:04:10 polaris saslpasswd2: _sasl_plugin_load failed on
sasl_auxprop_plug_init for plugin: sql

What could be wrong?

Thanks for any help
Johannes

I'm wondering about that last sql error message.  I notice that the cyrus-sasl
package has USE flags for berkdb, mysql, postgres, and sqlite.  Do you have at
least one of those flags enabled?
