Kolab 2.0.4 upgrade to 2.1 fails due to DBERROR

[Alain Spineux]

Non of these db files are critical !

- tls_sessions.db is only a cache for SSL connection. (can be deleted)
- deliver.db is only the list of email recently delivered in eache mailbox.
this avoit multiple delivery of the same email. it is also used by sieve to
avoid forward loop (can be deleted)
- annotations.db contains "applications specific" informations. This is a
kind of container imap clients can use to store information about mailbox. I
dont thing this is used by Kolab in 2.1. ANY comment from kolab guy ?
- mailbox.db contains the list of mailbox and also the the ACL on them. If
you spend your time to define ACL between user's mailbox, this is the file
to keep safe! Anyway you can reconstruct this file from scratch (use file
system directory name) but with default ACL !
- seen.db (in each mailbox  directory) this is only a list of already read
emails. most of the time this is already in skiplist format.

For a better understanding look the upgrade scripts and cyrus doc at
