#2299 Dovecot module not installed
Hi Jamie, the new dovecot module didn't get installed
with 1.240. There was no problem to add it from the
standard modules collection. Happened on all machines
so far.
I don't see an option to disallow installing completely
new modules, so it must have definitely been left out
from the install.
Ah, I left the "don't reinstall deleted modules"
unchecked with another machine, et voila, I got the
Dovecot module. It seems, this option doesn't install
*any* module that is not already present. But it
shouldn't do this for completely new modules.

Hi Kai,
The dovecot module is definately part of the 1.240
distribution ..
However, you are correct that it will not be installed if
you select the 'dont install deleted modules option'.
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell the difference
between deleted and totally new modules..
The main aim of that option is to prevent the installation
of new modules at upgrade time that the admin may not want
to automagically appear..

Jamie, the problem is that "deleted modules" definitely
means "deleted modules" for any unsuspecting poor soul.
You should change the wording so that it better reflects what
it does. Apart from this I think it should be quite easy to
distinguish between deleted and new modules. You just need
to mark the module somehow as "new" when its included in
webmin the first time.

I will actually change the wording in the next release,
rather than the functionality :-) The idea behind that
feature is to prevent any extra modules from being installed
when upgrading, which is useful on systems that are have
very little disk space or want only limited functionality..
