Summary and Info:
I upgraded my VPS today, pacman complains the dovecot config file is present so it cannot upgrade dovecot. This is really a catch 22, since dovecot pretty much needs its config file to start, to begin with. Backing up the config file temporarily of course is a useful workaround, but this shouldn't happen in the first place.
