    causes a version to be installed unless there is a version
    available belonging to the target release or the installed version
    is more recent

The target release is wheezy or stable, so it should choose the packages
from cdn.debian.net, no?

It inspired me to look at version numbers
# dpkg -l | grep cyrus | cut -d ' ' -f 2-33
 cyrus-common                            2.4.16-4+deb7u1
 cyrus-common-2.4                        2.4.16-4+deb7u1
 cyrus-imapd                             2.4.17-7
 cyrus-imapd-2.4                         2.4.16-4+deb7u1

this is probably bad.

I'll double check pinning and version numbers when I reinstall.

Logging in as "a" (the uid) results in the following
("test.a at testhome.dk" is the primary email address)
[06-Dec-2013 22:24:29,000000 +0000]: IMAP Error: Login failed for
test.a at testhome.dk from 10.0.20.86. AUTHENTICATE PLAIN: authentication
failure in /usr/share/roundcubemail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php
on line 184 (POST /roundcubemail/?_task=login?_task=login&_action=login)

I typed the password correctly, and then I resat it and tried againg
with the same result. Password is 123, so it is not a caps lock thing :-)

I can log in
# cyradm --host localhost --user cyrus-admin
Unknown option: host
verify error:num=18:self signed certificate
IMAP Password:
              localhost>

And with a wrong password, it fails - a good sign :-)
