Sounds much like
http://www.mail-archive.com/openpkg-users@openpkg.org/msg03541.html
which we experienced on one machine with server 2.2-rc1, too.

What worked for us:

1. WARNING: make a backup, I needed it!
2. remove all packages which install files below /kolab/lib/perl/
   (with -e --nodeps), this includes the imapd package, but removing
   this will remove mailboxes.db and annotations.db, too, so either
   use your backup or try if you can convince rpm to not execute the
   removal script (with --noscripts or something like that, I
   haven't tried).
3. make sure /kolab/lib/perl/ is empty, either by looking at 2.
   again or removing the remaining files
4. Recompile the packages you removed above again, for this you can
   put all source rpms and all your non-perl binaries (from
   /kolab/RPM/PKG) in a directory writable by the kolab user, run
   'install-kolab.sh -X' in it to generate a new 00INDEX.rdf
   and use this for the new try. This is described in 1st.README, too.

Thomas
