Description:
When installing dovecot, pacman complains:

chgrp: cannot access `/var/run/dovecot/login': No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

Root cause seems to be that in dovecot.install script, login directory was changed from /var/run/dovecot/login
to /var/empty, but chgrp command still references non-existent /var/run/dovecot/login directory.

Apparent fix:

Remove defunct chgrp command.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
dovecot-2.0.13-2-x86_64
* config and/or log files etc.
None.

Steps to reproduce:
Install dovecot version listed above.
This task depends upon
