Meanwhile, we also have 
http://obs.kolabsys.com:82/Kolab:/3.1:/Updates/CentOS_6/Kolab:3.1:Updates.repo

I'm curious whether this could be solved by making php-kolab depend on 
php-kolabformat (and/or vice-versa), since while the extensions loaded 
in /etc/php.d/kolab.ini depend on the one loaded in 
/etc/php.d/kolabformat.ini...

IIRC, they need to be loaded in the correct sequence, which is why we 
prepended the 'kolabformat.so' extension to the 'kolab.ini' in addition 
to keeping it around in 'kolabformat.ini'.

That said, I don't want to overload dependencies just because of some 
configuration gotchas.

Also, IIRC, we're seeking to make these functions belong to the 
appropriate namespace.

This is likely the %post script from roundcubemail attempting to 
automatically update the database schema, but having the old settings 
(i.e. $rcmail_config['dsnw'] where it might need $config['dsnw']).
